Stephen Drew is on the brink of a dubious achievement

Stephen Drew's struggles at the plate may land him on a dark page in the Yankees' record book.

Poor Stephen Drew has had a rough year. During spring training, he competed as the frontrunner for the vacant second base job but had virtually no fan support behind him. Since winning the job out of camp, fans have mercilessly called for his head. There was much rejoicing at the thought of Jose Pirela or Rob Refsnyder taking over at second when they were called up around mid-season. Through it all, Drew stuck around like the family dog, taking up space in the lineup nearly every day.
