Daily Red Sox Links: Mookie Betts, Will Middlebrooks, James Shields

What a wonderful world it would be if Will Middlebrooks could start playing well. (Ricky Doyle; NESN)

It's important to remember that being able to get James Shields is less important than whether it would be worth it. (Nick Cafardo; Boston Globe)

Speaking of which, what's the worst that could happen with Mookie Betts at second? (John Tomase; Boston Herald)

Because, after all Betts has been through, replacing Dustin Pedroia isn't much to worry about. (Jessica Camerato; Boston.com)

That our young pitchers continue to struggle as the sample size gets bigger? A little more worrisome. (Brian MacPherson; Providence Journal)

Especially with Henry Owens struggling in Pawtucket. (James Dunne; Sox Prospects)

At least there's this Red Sox-Game of Thrones mash up from the fellows at the Fire Brand. You'll never guess who Joffrey is. (Brett Cowett; Fire Brand of the AL)
