Red Sox | Pitching coach thinks starting will help Daniel Bard

Mon, 26 Dec 2011 06:26:04 -0800

Boston Red Sox pitching coach Bob McClure said he thinks putting RPs Daniel Bard and Alfredo Aceves in the rotation will improve their stuff in the bullpen. McClure implemented a similar strategy with RPs Kyle Farnsworth and Joakim Soria in 2007 with the Kansas City Royals. "I think it made (Farnsworth) a better pitcher," McClure said. "He had more pitches. He was more comfortable with runners on. We worked on his pickoff move. We worked on holding runners. I think all of those things, combined, made him overall a better pitcher."

Red Sox | Daniel Bard to enter spring training as starter

Sun, 11 Dec 2011 11:17:47 -0800

Boston Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington and manager Bobby Valentine confirmed that P Daniel Bard will enter spring training as a starter. "He's going to be penciled in to be one of those guys who works going from his bullpen to pitching two innings to pitching four innings to pitching six innings," Valentine said. "Whenever we get to that plateau, with the pitching coach I'll hopefully have by my side soon and all the members of the staff and front office, we'll have to make a determination after that 18-20 inning mark as to where he will be during the season. I told him to prepare to be a starter and if that, in fact, does not happen to be ready and willing to be our closer."
