Of his potential? No chance. All you can talk about is what he looks like right now. And right now, personally, I'm encouraged by some things. Especially the fact that despite not starting in years he's only gone five-and-out twice. The value of an unfinished product like Bard can be measured in innings pitched as much as in anything else. The biggest thing a kid in Bard's situation can do is not tax the bullpen by having to be yanked, and Bard's done at least that.
if he matures into an innings burner with a fluctuating ERA and winds up as a replacement for Wake-in-his-prime, I might be alone in taking that, but I'll take that.
