Peter A's article about this today. I agree with him that if Bard is going to be a fringe type starter, Dice K can do that and Bard can go back to being a good bullpen guy. The problem is that Dice K may not be close to returning, so we don't know how long we'll have to endure this amateur show by Bard.
You beat me to it. I was just about to post that article. You say that Bard "can go back to being a good bullpen guy". I hope thats true. I hope he doesn't follow the same path to infamy that Craig Hanson and Joba Chamberlain went down. All those guys are hard throwing relievers who found different paths to incompetence. I hope they haven't ruined whatever value Bard had with this club.
