Time for Drew to step it up. A little pop from this guy would be nice. He has the ability to make up some of the offense that they are going to miss from Youk.
I was just looking at Bard's game logs and noticed he's only pitched one time in the last nine days.
I think it's a great move by the team to give the kid a much deserved break. He was on pace for a ridiculous amount of appearances for a second year player.
That's what I was thinking. The one reason I could come up with would be is that you know what you would get with Young year in and year out. However, I wouldn't make the move for Young.
