Daniel Bard refreshed for comeback with Cubs after taking time off

Posted Feb 27, 2015
Instead of pitching last summer, Daniel Bard rode a bike across Iowa. He then flew to Europe and drove around France, Switzerland and Germany with his wife. "I said, 'I need a break.' And I took it, and it's the best thing I could've done," Bard said. He needed the extended vacation because Bard had gone from being one of the best setup pitchers in baseball with the Red Sox to struggling to retire Minor League hitters. (MLB.com)
