already another rift between Valentine and the players.
Valentine suggested Daniel Bard needs another pitch to be great with instead of just relying on the fastball while Bard keeps refusing any help from Valentine.
The issue revolves around if Bard is to be a starter, he needs more than just a fastball to be good and having a second quality pitch could help him struggle less if he stays as a reliever. Bard seems to be doing the same Papelbon did and refusing to improve his pitch choices and rely on just the fastball.
