According to a report by CSNNE's Sean McAdam, team sources say
Daniel Bard's starter experiment is over and he'll be headed back to the bullpen. This shocking turnabout underscores the chaos in Red Sox pitching overall. Amazingly, it looks as if Alfredo Aceves and Felix Doubront will be your fourth and fifth starters. This, as five other AL teams have solid 1-5 rotations that suggest Boston may miss the post-season for the
third straight year in 2012—
despite the added Wild Card slot. Shameful mismanagemnt on the NOG and BenCher's part.
