TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Shortstop Stephen Drew was among seven players sent to the minor league camp by the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday.
Drew, younger brother of Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder J.D. Drew, is among the more promising in a large contingent of young talent in the Diamondbacks organization.
The 23-year-old Drew hit .314 this spring and had a shot at making the big league club in just his second professional season. But Craig Counsell had recovered sufficiently from a shoulder ailment and the Diamondbacks want Drew in Triple-A Tucson as an everyday player.
