As you probably know, the Yankees scored the second most runs in baseball last season. Other than the prolific Blue Jays offense, the Bombers arguably had the best bats in the league. However, all good things eventually come to an end, and the Yankees' offense is no exception. Despite being quite dangerous last season, New York's bats have produced the fourth least runs in baseball in 2016.
There's plenty of finger pointing going around, with scapegoats ranging from the shift to newly-minted hitting coach Alan Cockrell to Yankee Stadium itself. These all are real contributors to the Yankees' difficulties, but the most obvious source of the problems is likely coming from the Yankees' heart of the lineup.
