The problem I saw last year was too many strikeouts especially from the lead off spot. It seemed if Jeter wasn’t striking out he was hitting into double plays. I think he should be at the bottom of the order if his ego can handle it. As a team they seemed to strike out a lot, but in their defense they have a lot of guys that hit for power which tends to lead to strike outs.
