2024 Fantasy Outlook
You know that meme with Spiderman pointing at Spiderman? Imagine it with 2022 Drury and 2023 Drury and that's his 2024 outlook. There were two differences as Drury scored fewer runs last season and he lost third base eligibility. Otherwise, he essentially replicated the previous season. His wRC+ was a bit lower since it's relative to the league and offense went up last year. Getting granular, Drury fanned a little more last season, but his exit velocity and hard hit rate both ticked up, but everything was within normal variance. For the past two seasons, Drury has been a regular, jumping between positions. At some point, he'll transition to more of a super-utility guy and lose playing time, but he's signed with the Angels for another season, and it's unlikely they'll bring in enough players to force Drury into reserve capacity. A lack of speed makes Drury more of a mixed league fill in, but he's proven his power is real, and having corner and middle infield eligibility is useful. Read Past Outlooks
Losing playing time
Drury is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
Drury finds himself on the bench for the fourth time in five games, with all four absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers. Jack Lopez has seemingly supplanted Drury as the Halos' top option at second base.

Stat Review
How does Brandon Drury compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Previously known as "the guy who blocked Vladimir Guerrero for a while in 2019," Drury turned himself into a trade chip for the Reds with a career first half. In the end, Drury slashed .274/.335/.520 with 20 homers in 92 games with Cincinnati. He was moved to San Diego where the numbers predictably slipped along with his HR/FB. Drury is a journeyman utility player now on the wrong side of 30, but the Angels still brought him aboard for two years and $17 million. Drury has legitimate pop and is eligible at three positions entering 2023 (1B, 2B, 3B), and it's unclear where he'll see most of his time in 2023 given the Halos' crowded infield. He is a tough sell as a starter in mixed fantasy leagues given his track record of mediocrity, though if you need flexibility off the bench, Drury makes some sense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Joins Halos on lesser deal
According to Taylor Blake Ward of AngelsWin.com, Drury turned down more money from other teams to sign with the Angels on a two-year, $17 million contract.
ANALYSIS
Drury won a Silver Slugger with an .813 OPS and 28 home runs between the Reds and Padres last season, so it's not a major surprise he had multiple offers on the table. He split most of his playing time between first base, second base, third base and designated hitter, though he also saw brief action at shortstop and in right field. Drury is a below-average defender, so he's likely to see most of his action on the right side of the infield given the Angels' other infield options.
