Back in the middle of June, the Red Sox made a minor-league signing that caught our attention not so much because we saw a ton of potential for major-league help but more because, well, it was a name we (read: I) recognized. That’s generally enough for a minor-league signing to make a ripple in my dumb brain. That signing was Chris Owings, who was called up by the Red Sox prior to Sunday’s series finale against the Angels. To make room on the active roster, Hector Velázquez was optioned back to Pawtucket. Room also needed to be made on the 40-man roster, which was done with Steve Pearce being moved to the 60-day injured list.
