Besides, it isn't just the Yankees, the Twins have struggled to score runs against all of their postseason opponents since 2002. That's the problem with having such an unbalanced lineup; it's easy for anyone to shut them down in a short series (even Oakland). I don't think the lineup needs a huge overhaul; like you said, their left-handed bats have carried them to the postseason, but they could use some right-handed power. Chris,

And this lefty-loaded lineup is a big part of what gets the Twins to the postseason in the first place. Maybe your best bet is to play someone else in the divisional series?
