Fenway’s Futures: Daniel Bard

Daniel Bard, the 6'4" flame thrower out of UNC has enjoyed some failures and successes as a member of the Boston Red Sox organization, has he cured those demons? or is he destined to repeat them?

As far as long term, as Bard has shown he can recover from rough spots and be a consistent/dominant reliever, I could easily project him as a long time set-up man for Jonathan Papelbon, but with the crowded pen as it is, Bard may end up being traded, or forcing the Red Sox to make a trade to accommodate a spot for him.
