It's really messing him up big time.

Manny will break out of it. He always has these stretches where he's a little bit off, but then something will click and he'll go on a tear for 3 months. He started slow last year as well. Didn't hit his 1st HR until April 16th, and was hitting .222 with 4 RBI at the time. He broke out of it though and ended the month at .274 with 7 HR's and 25 RBI.
