When Jeremy Jeffress was suspended for his second time in late June 2009 for failing a drug test after his usage of marijuana, Milwaukee Brewers fans might have thought it was a typical young player who needs to simply grow up. At the time Jeffress was with Class A Brevard County and being a first round draft pick, the Milwaukee Brewers may have wondered if they wasted a draft pick.
After being traded to the Kansas City Royals along with Lorenzo Cain, Alcides Escobar, and Jake Odorizzi, Jeffress was never quite sure if he’d be able to come back to the Milwaukee Brewers and show them they made a mistake.
