Anyone else here wish they'd give Bard a shot at starting in spring training next year? He seems to have legit command of those three pitches. I know he had issues repeating his delivery, but he's done fine in multiple inning appearances (and he has a lot more experience now). I drool over the idea of Miller being harnessed as a consistent starter but Bard I think could be even better if he could be consistent, as well.

I'm sure people will debate Bard won't be happy if he doesn't start and they sign Papelbon for another 3 years, but it is what it is - he's going to have to just take the ball and do a good job. The set-up position is gaining traction has a vitally important position with a certain skill set not everyone has. He'll get paid.
