Drury will compete for the D-backs' starting second base job this spring, the Arizona Republic reports.
Chris Owings, who is now more than a year removed from shoulder surgery, and Phil Gosselin appear to be the other candidates vying for the job. Drury hit better during his time at Triple-A Reno (.842 OPS) than he did at Double-A Mobile last season (.676 OPS), and he's flashed double-digit homer potential at the lower levels of the minor leagues. Just 23 years old, he may be better suited to play regularly at Triple-A to begin the year rather than work off the bench if he falls short of winning the starting job out of camp.
