The first quarter of the 60 game sprint is in the books. The Yankees are 10-6 after the first 16 games, good for a .625 winning percentage. All things considered, we should be happy with that but there are some concerns both now and on the horizon.
The offense has carried this team to their 1st place record thus far. They are in the top five for homeruns, batting average, on-base percentage and slugging and their overall numbers looked a lot better before some of the recent stinkers where the offense failed to show up. The problem moving forward will be starting pitching (and to some extent the bullpen) and the Yankees need to shore that line of defense up if they want to be in the best position to advance in the postseason.
