SPPod Ep. #214 - Houck returns to the hill

The first place Red Sox are set to face the Rays and newly promoted top prospect Wander Franco, and we're back to talk through the latest news and notes from the system. Tanner Houck got back on the bump last week, while promotion season continued with several interesting moves. Chris and Ian talked through who could be next to level up. Discussion then moved up to Fenway, and the guys discussed who might get the call if Kevin Plawecki needs a stint on the IL and whether it's Duran time. And as always, Chris and Ian dipped into the mailbag to talk about what you want to hear about.
