Im not basing Bard of amount on losses, Im basing it on what I've seen, in one game he received the loss, however i didn't see that game so I cant really judge him. Then, vs the Twins he allowed a homer to Cuddyer and nearly blew game, if Hermida didn't hit that 3 run double, Sox would of lost because Bard and against the Orioles on Friday, he gave up a 2 run homer to Jones to put the O's right back in the game.
I don't see why Schoeneweis or Embree should stop us from getting Cruz. There is no point of having a second lefty in the pen if they cant even get out lefties. Id take Cruz over Schoeneweis or Embree. I doubt after seeing Schoeneweis pitch with the Red Sox so far that anyone would want him. What I'm saying is that we should keep Ramon Ramirez, activate Dice-k, sign Cruz, then get rid of Embree/Atchison/Schoeneweis.
Late edit: Bard has looked outstanding his past two games, I'm not worried about him at all and should of clarified that, I was just pointing out that he hasn't even looked amazing so far. However, this may be a sign that Bard has figured it out.
