Is it time we started questioning how the Sox handle their prospects again?
They had the kid warming up from the 2nd inning, threw him in three frames later for mop-up duty and let him give up 8 runs while completing 2 grueling innings. Then, as a consolation prize, he gets sent back to the minors immediately after.
I understand that we needed a fresh arm as a just in case, but this just seems like another instance of prospect mismanagement to me.
