He may not be on the Yankees roster right now, but Brandon Drury is making great strides towards becoming what the team expected him to be when they traded for him in February.
Two weeks ago, I spoke briefly with Drury as he made his return to the big leagues after nearly three months on the disabled list, and in the minor leagues, due to blurred vision and migraines.
Just like any other athlete, Drury was under pressure as soon as he came to New York. The Yankees traded away pitching prospect Taylor Widener and minor league infielder Nick Solak to the Diamondbacks and Rays, respectively, as part of a three-team deal, in order to acquire Drury.
