From the date of this post Alex has gone on a tear and has actually gotten a nice amount of clutch or important hits. So have the Yanks with their $100 Million on the DL, leaving them with a pathetic, almost Marlin-like payroll of just under $100 Million.
The Yankees lead the Majors in runs scored but are 17th in Homeruns, which is a stark contrast to the past few years. To be honest, I prefer it this way. They became too reliant on taking pitches and swinging for the fences. In the regular season that's fine but when it comes down to the playoffs, moving the runners over and base hits are usually what gets you that championship. I think the exception would be the 2004 Red Sox, but I doubt a team cares how they won it as long as they won it.
Oh, but Robinson Cnao has no right leading the All-Star ballot for 2B unless there are no 2B that can play anymore at above a AAA level.
