Lucas: Bullpen Move Suits Daniel Bard

Posted Oct 9, 2008
Former Tar Heel ace Daniel Bard finds himself doing something very unusual these days: nothing. The 2006 first-round pick of the Boston Red Sox is back in his hometown of Charlotte for his first extended break from the diamond since joining the Red Sox organization. He's also working out five or six days per week, because this is an important upcoming winter for the powerful right-hander. On Sept. 25, the Red Sox named Bard their Minor League Pitcher of the Year. (Tar Heel Blue)
