I disagree. I think the Yankee lineup is decent from 1 through 9 - much more balanced than last year. Every position has an average or above-average hitter except 2b (LeMahieu/Peraza) and LeMahieu is looking a lot better than last season.
Even after this week of horror the Yankees have a 119 OPS+ for the season, and it's not just Judge. Taking Judge out of the equation, the Yankees still have a .238/.318/.411 slash-line (AL average of .240/.309/.394).
The Yankees have a solid line-up; the mystery is why they aren't acting like it.
