Since the All-Star Game in which Gary started behind the dish for the American League team, he has struggled at the plate. The Yankees as a team have been just fine and are still putting up great numbers with their loaded lineup, but of course, it cannot hurt to have their All-Star catcher produce a little as well.
Gary was truly the best catcher in baseball in the first half. He led all catchers in home runs and RBI. On the flip side, Sanchez only has four hits so far through 36 at-bats in the second half and no home runs.
