Its more the lack of offense that has been killing the Yankees in the month of May. Their DH has the lowest batting average in the MLB. Jeter leads the league in ground balls. A-Rod, who was flirting with MVP type numbers, thinks he is batting in the post season. Russel Martin started red hot but has come down to earth. Swisher stinks. Teixeira switched April for May this season. Cano has been average. Gardner started off terrible, but has actually been hitting better lately. The only Yankee bat that is red hot is CF Curtis Granderson who has 14 home runs (2nd behind Bautista with 16), is slugging .643 (third), with an OPS of .993 (7th).
