Lester Then Paplebon

Even though it was against Kansas City, you have to like the fact that a 22 year old had an eight inning one-hitter for the Red Sox before handing over to another guy born in the 80’s who then earned his 28th save in a 1-0 win.

This is a good year for the Sox – despite Tavarez – and one in which you do not see a slump of major proportions given the strength of the infield, the distribution of hitting and the depth on the bench. So will they trade before the end of the month? Long relief? Maybe…but maybe we have that in another child of the 80’s Manny Delcarmen. If Wells comes back in any reasonable fashion and Beckett is given all home day games, we may even survive the starting rotation.

So…why can’t you get a Tavarez shirt?
