Alright. I get it. No more comments about Bard in the rotation unless someone starts it first:

DiceK deserves a shot; so does Cook, based on his stats. Either of those guys is likely to be better than LackeyWakefieldMillerWeiland. Bard fortifying the pen sounds good to me.
I completely understand that there are other opinions among knowledgable baseball fans. I don't agree with that opinion, obviously. Our bullpen needs more help that our starting rotation, and there is only one Daniel Bard.
I know its not going to happen. Many of the Boston beat writers have also been calling for that move for a long time...Mazz, Cafardo etc. Its a testament to the stupidity or our FO IMO.
I am not certain about Cook other than believing that he deserves a chance. We already know what Bucky can do. Personally, I think Bard should be in the pen and Cook given a shot at SP.
