"Easy Cheese" - Welcome to the Show, Daniel Bard

The newest member of the Red Sox bullpen pitched last night in the loss to the Angels. I was in bed when he came in, but this article in the Globe describes Bard's impressive velocity. The man can bring it and was blowing away AAA hitters down in Pawtucket before his callup following the release of LOOGY Lopez.

Good for Bard. He is extremely talented and a welcome addition to what is already one of the best pens in the league. Might be a watershed moment years from now, if the young fella becomes the star many expect him to be.
