WHY CAN'T AUSTIN WELLS GET GOING?


When it comes to his offense, Austin Wells is slow out of the gate. He's a solid catcher and can hit. We all know this. Remember last year?  Empire Sports Media writes:

"We saw a glimpse of what Wells could do offensively last year during the final two weeks of the season when he hit four homers with 10 RBIs, so the Bombers are remaining patient as he acclimates to the season ahead and starts to pick up more momentum."

But you know Yankees fans, we grow impatient pretty quickly.  I know I do.  In the last 5 games he's had 12 at bats, struck out 4 times and not a single hit.  It's a small sample, but it's a terrible serving.  And look at this... over the last 8 games, his batting average is .130.  He has one RBI and scored 4 runs. That's it.  Those are not major league numbers, folks.

Look, you have to hope things will change. The Yankees like this guy, the fans do too.  Maybe he needs to shave the mustache for good. Who knows.
