Should Yankees infield coach Joe Espada's job be safe?

You probably don't know who Joe Espada is. Remember at the end of 2014 when everyone was calling for Kevin Long's and Rob Thomson's jobs, and then in the offseason it turned out that Thomson was spared and just moved to bench coach, while Mick Kelleher was fired instead? The guy who replaced Thomson at third base and Kelleher as infield instructor is Joe Espada. After supporting Kevin Long through last year's shade campaign, I can't, in good conscience, seriously advocate for Espada's dismissal, but at some point serious consideration has to be put into whether he's the right man for the job with regards to the atrocious fielding that has gone on all season long.
