The Yankees really need to capitalize on their weak June/July schedules and get up north of 60 or so wins by the end of July, because August is going to be a bitch.
Abreu was in the midst of a two month long slump, where his mechanics and timing were completely off, which is now over. Damon is going to be playing DH instead of center, where he's replaced by the best arm out there in Cabrera. Giambi's not there, oh noes, they spent last season without Matsui or Sheffield, and they did ok.
