/waits for the inevitable excuse of "I have no idea how this happened."
Migraines aren't really a thing you just get cleared for like Bird's ankle though. You can be perfectly fine for a while with migraines and then one day wake up and be basically unable to do anything. People with chronic migraines (which it seems Drury has going by his past and his explanations) live with them for pretty much their whole life once they start. Bird has an injury prone ankle that can hopefully heal over time. Drury has a condition that will probably never go away.Well, he's been cleared by doctors to play. So can't use the migraines as an excuse anymore. Some players are more injury-prone than others. Greg Bird is another one, but I can't imagine the Yanks not bringing him up once he's off the DL because he could get hurt again.

Ok so what do you suggest they do with Drury? Just leave him in AAA and let him rot there?
I mean he already is getting paid, he doesn't need to be taking the PEDs anymore :PCano signed a 10 year contract worth 240m, I can't blame the guys who decide to use PEDs when there's that much money to be made... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I mean I have nothing against him and don't want to see him rot. He is a good player when he is healthy. Problem for Drury is that the Yankees have someone who they see as their future at the position and is producing right now. Drury was always just going to be a temporary player until Andujar was ready. He seems like he is ready now so they made the call to go with him and send Drury down. What I imagine will happen is that they'll keep him there for a while and then eventually release/trade him to some team that actually needs him. The Yankees don't. It sucks for him but that's just how things go sometimes.Ok so what do you suggest they do with Drury? Just leave him in AAA and let him rot there?
it's a long season. until Andujar proves he can't handle major league pitching, the job is his now.
I would say trade him to the white sox for some pitching but uh...That's fine. I'm asking if they should leave Drury in AAA or bring him up and have him back up 3B and 2B.

All players go though hot and cold streaks. Andujars stats and the eye test also don't support that he's been playing "below average" defense. Can we maybe give him more than a month and some change to prove himself over a guy who lied to his former and current team about being able to see the damn baseball? Drury still says he struggles to see the ball at night, for Christ's sake.I guess I'm not as sold on Andujar right now as a lot of Yankees fans are. Since his hot start in April, he's been pretty cold in May. 13 singles, no XBH, and 2 RBIs. Swings at a lot of bad pitches, doesn't draw walks, and plays below average defense. Hopefully as the league adjusts to him, he'll figure out how to adjust back.
Technically he is not getting paid. He's losing $10mm by being suspended.I mean he already is getting paid, he doesn't need to be taking the PEDs anymore :P

Nice! I'll be at the Nats game tonight and tomorrow. Hope I get to see him play - gotta love his quick hands and legendary bat speed.
The sox are still paying for his fat ass to play in SF.

I would bet on Andujar being one of the pieces moved for a starting pitcher by the deadline
Agreed. Andújar is basically third baseman Starlin Castro.
