08:13 AM ET 08.30 | Maybe a disheartened Red Sox nation can take solace in Allen Webster's first minor league appearance with his new organization. [Webster] made his first start since the Sox acquired him in the Adrian Gonzalez deal, taking the mound for Double-A Portland against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. The three-run yield on six hits (four singles, a double and a triple) and two walks in four innings was less than electrifying. The stuff, however, was sensational. Webster showed what one talent evaluator at the game considered an 'electric' arsenal, with a fastball that he ran up to 96 mph and both a slider and a changeup that he viewed as above average pitches. Another evaluator at the game was impressed albeit with slightly greater reserve.

If LA thought he was that electric I don't think they would have traded him to the Sox.

After what he did to Pesky, you should be careful what you say about Lucchino....

Zach Stewart was simply atrocious last night. The guy was a walking batting machine

That may be the first and last time he pitches for the Red Sox.
