The Red Sox are doing
half the right thing—
pushing Daniel Bard out of his next rotation start and making him available for use from the bullpen on Monday and Tuesday. However, in the hap-hazard pattern of this year, they will put him back in the rotation on Friday. The rational move would be to put Bard in the 'pen permanently and bring up Aaron Cook to take his spot in the rotation. Instead, this half-hearted, uncertain move speaks volumes of how dysfunctional the Red Sox have become. We are again a joke to the rest of baseball—literally.
