Yankees Call Up Brandon Drury for Boston Series

By -

It was a mystery for much of Thursday as to who would be called up to the Yankees once Luis Cessa was sent back down after his start on Wednesday. Names ranging from Austin to Wade were all mentioned, however our questions were answered late Thursday night, when some news broke on Twitter.

It has been reported by Ken Rosenthal that Brandon Drury will be called up to the Yankees and will be available for the series against the Red Sox this coming weekend.


The predicament that Drury has been in this season has been unique, yet unfortunate to say the least, as he has gone from being the Opening Day starting third baseman to being an everyday player in Triple A. Of course, the rise of Miguel Andujar at third did not help Drury, yet when a player such as Neil Walker is struggling and still on the roster, it makes you wonder as to why Drury has not gotten his second shot yet. Drury originally went down early in the season, and it was soon discovered by the Yankees that Drury had been playing with blurry vision his entire career. In his time in Scranton, Drury dominated, sporting a .907 OPS and making the AAA All Star team.

Drury will have another shot to prove to the Yankees that he belongs on the 25 man roster this weekend against Boston, or at the very least, show other teams that he can play and raise his potential trade value.

Being trapped inside for the last two days due to the snowstorm that pounded the entire eastern seaboard has only enhanced my desire for the return of baseball season. Considering all indications from ownership point to the Yankees being done for the most part as far as additions are concerned, I felt as if now would be a prompt time to make some early predictions about the 2016 season. As I look at the Yankees team as currently comprised, I'm feeling the same sense of uncertainty as I did at this point last season. A successful 2016 season is contingent on production from players who are either old, injury prone, or in some cases, a combination of both. Normally, this would seem to be a recipe for disaster, however I'm going to try the optimistic route. Below, are what I view as the five keys to a successful 2016. In my view, each of the five are equally important. Unfortunately, the Yankees need a lot to go right in order for them to return to the postseason. Having one posts
