Daniel Bard's up-and-down season may be on the upswing once again

Posted Aug 28, 2009
There is reason to believe that Daniel Bard, 24, is ready to ascend again and perhaps reclaim the setup-man role that he briefly occupied when things were going well. And that was on display in the bite and depth of his slider Wednesday night. With Bard, the 100-mph fastball is always there. Sometimes the location isn't perfect, but the pitch is definitely his calling card. (Providence Journal)
