In three of his last four seasons he has hit worse that his career average OPS (.747), and will be 32 and playing one of the most demanding defensive positions, so good luck with that. He looked like he forgot how to hit a baseball in the 2013 playoffs, and last year was cover your eyes bad, albeit yes in just 300 plate appearances - his confidence at the plate frankly looked shot, and if you go to the plate with negative thoughts, poor results always follow.
Absent him finding that swagger again, I think he is going to continue to be a disaster at the plate for the Yankees in 2015. Perhaps they are counting on their new hitting coach(es) to fix what could not be fixed last year....
