Red Sox Activate Anthony + Youth Movement in St. Louis

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker welcome in former Twins GM Thad Levine (1:20) to share his thoughts on the Red Sox calling up MLB's no. 1 ranked prospect Roman Anthony, the impact of A.J. Hinch's experience in Detroit, the challenge of winning with high expectations, the Jays' options for the struggling Bowden Francis, and why GMs are more focussed on 'platoon players.' Later, Cardinals analyst and former MLB pitcher Brad Thompson joins the show (29:36) ahead of the Cards' series against the Jays to discuss how they have defied expectations this season, the biggest surprises for St. Louis this year, and where they can improve.
