Drew showing he's over ankle injury in camp
Stephen Drew - SS - Boston Red Sox
Feb. 17, 2013 - 10:25 PM ET

According to MLB.com's Ian Browne, "it's becoming clear" that Stephen Drew is over the fractured right ankle that limited him for the majority of last season.

Drew batted just .223/.309/.348 in his first season back from ankle surgery, but could be a prime bounce-back candidate if he can stay healthy. The Red Sox have already said that he'll be their Opening Day shortstop, so look for him to serve as a one-year stopgap before top prospect Xander Bogaerts is ready to take over.
