Game of constant adjustment
Robbie needs to adjust to the adjustment made by opposing pitchers. It’s really that simple. Better discipline at the plate would help. I’ve noticed that he seems to be guessing too much. I also agree with a point (I believe) Joe Morgan made about Robbie’s front foot coming down way too late. I really think Robbie needs to visit some tape of him hitting in 2006 and 2007 and make the needed adjustments.
Not only for the good of the Yankees, but he’s killing me on my Fantasy team.

Robbie
The guy has about as much all-around talent as anyone on the team, maybe a tad below A-Rod, who will soon start showing signs of age. Robbie is entering his prime years. Robbie’s got to get his head together if he is going to channel that talent into establishing himself as an elite player. The capability is there, but he seems to suffer from a gross lack of discipline on offense and defense. This must be corrected or he will be an enormous disappointment.
Help us Larry Bowa. You’re our only hope!
