Drohan is the No. 25 prospect in the Brewers organization now, and he had a solid spring training to follow a solid season in Triple-A for the Red Sox. However, while Durbin and Monasterio could both make the opening day roster, Drohan will have to wait a little longer to make his debut.According to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy, Drohan was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday. He made four appearances this spring and posted a 4.26 ERA in 12 2/3 innings of work.He struck out 15 batters as well. While the overall numbers were not great, the actual stuff showed great promise. He was fighting for a spot in the rotation or bullpen, and he could end up earning one down the line.Drihan had a 2.27 ERA in Triple-A last season. He made 11 starts in 12 games and had 67 strikeouts. He posted 12.7 strikeouts per nine innings. He joined a Brewers organization that has found a way to develop pitching very well. With his stuff and the Brewers' pitching coaches, he could end up being a steady member of the rotation at some point.However, for now, he will have to show he can dominate in Triple-A and wait for the Brewers to have a need in the rotation.More MLB: These Two Red Sox Players Wore Different Uniforms During Workouts On Saturday
