| Gets A Saturday Start |
Red Sox pitching prospect
Allen Webster (acquired in
The Great Punto Trade) will get another shot at starting in
The Show on Saturday. You may recall that Webster has had a bit of a schizophrenic experience in the bigs—a good six-inning stint in April; a 1 1/2 inning stinker with eight earned runs in May. The kid is generally regarded to have a huge upside, so this third start might tell us a lot about his readiness. The 23-year old has done well since being sent back down to AAA (5-1, 2.98), but he will be facing the likes of
Miguel Cabrera,
Prince Fielder and
Victor Martinez tomorrow. Pretty good test, we'd say.
