Red Sox on Deck Episode 17: The One without Bob

Jake Devereaux (@devjake) fills in for Bob this week but is still joined by Shelly Verougstraete (@shellyv_643) to discuss every level of the minor leagues. Connor Wong was called up to the majors after Kevin Plawecki landed on the injured list with a hamstring strain. Were we surprised by the move? Jake and Shelly debate Jack Leiter and whether the Red Sox should take a chance on him with the fourth overall pick. Down in Worcester, Marcus Wilson is playing well and the crew debates if and when he makes his debut in Fenway. Tanner Houck has returned to the mound and he could find himself in Fenway soon. Jake and Shelly gush over Brayan Bello and Chris Murphy pitching well in Portland and Greenville, respectively, and throw cold water of Triston Casas' recent struggles in Double-A. Eduardo Lopez made a surprising debut in Salem and maybe Gilberto Jimenez should stop switch-hitting. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
