Would the Yankees really make him change his name? Though Steven is more posh.
Stephen is for long haired, neckbearded hippies. Steven is a good, clean shaven, conservative name.
Honestly, I can picture Drew in pinstripes pretty easily. He has the look. Headley will probably end up being a pretty good move for him. He's better than he's looked this year and is an upgrade over Solarte. It's not hard to envision a 2015 infield of Headley, Drew, Johnson and Teixeira with ARod DHing and spelling Headly and Tex regularly. In fact, it's not hard to picture that as a fairly productive infield for them.
It's not a long term solution, but it could get them back into playoff contention next year if they also sign Lester and get even a mediocre season out of Sabathia once he's healthy again... or as close to healthy as he can get. Tanaka coming back at the end of the year would be a nice boon as well. At the very least, it would keep them mathematically in contention long enough to sell the idea that they are a contender to their fans and keep people watching.
