More Online-Only Sox

Despite not liking the online-only format of Topps Total, one great thing about it is the player selection.  It has also been helpful in getting some of the new acquisitions, particularly since most of them have not exactly made waves (with the exception of Alex Verdugo of course).  

And so these are the first Red Sox cards I have been able to get of Martin Perez and Kevin Pillar.  After a horrible first game, Perez has been at least decent for Boston.  Currently he is 2-2 with a 3.38 ERA and 16 strikeouts versus eleven walks in 21.1 innings pitched.  Pillar has been very impressive off the bench, and of course he is a terrific defensive outfielder.  The other two Total cards are Dustin Pedroia and Ryan Brasier.  Pedroia will sit out the season and maybe, hopefully, come back next year.  Brasier has struggled since a very impressive 2018 season.

Then, from the Topps Now Turn Back the Clock set, we have Luis Tiant.  I had to grab this as soon as I saw it.  Particularly since it is a photo I have not seen before.  Just a cool card.
