Yankees: It’s time to drop Aaron Hicks in the batting order

The Yankees lineup is arguably the best in baseball. They lead baseball in runs, RBI and they’re second in home runs. They’re an offensive juggernaut from top to bottom, but through the first month and a half of the season, the one weak link in the order has to be Aaron Hicks.

Hicks had a breakout campaign in 2017 despite multiple DL stints and earned the right to be the everyday center fielder coming into this season. Talent has never been an issue for Hicks, but throughout his career, he’s never been able to put it all together on a consistent basis.
