Josh Bard has one job to do

Hopefully, he can get better at it as the season goes along. They were talking about how San Diego may not want to hold onto Mirabelli, since Piazza is now their full time catcher. But apparently, Gordon Edes stated Mirabelli leaving wasn't necessarily a bad thing from the perspective of some other players in the locker room.

Well, just like Foulke, we'll have to wait and see. The question for both of these players is how long do the Red Sox wait to see if they are going to turn around. Obviously one game is not enough. But is twenty too many? With Foulke, you have a backup plan in Papelbon or Hansen, but I'm not sure they have a backup plan for Bard catching Wakefield.
