Even if Yankees fans are upset with Stephen Drew, the sad truth is that Jose Pirela hasn't been playing much better.
Yankee fans have grown sick and tired of the old vets eating up playing time. Stephen Drew has so far been the scapegoat of this 2015 Yankees team , and even if he is (so far) the worst hitter on this Yankee team, the young kid that's most MLB-ready–Jose Pirela–hasn't been much better.
Drew has, deservedly, gotten a lot of the blame for the Yankees' offensive struggles, slashing .158/.226/.303 in his first 169 plate appearances this season.
