Bard Latest Friar To Go Under The Knife

Padres starting catcher Josh Bard underwent a procedure to correct an issue in his right wrist. Maybe Padres fans across the world have thier explanation as to why he couldn't throw runners out this season, including a game in the final series of the year where the stout Prince Fielder stole second base twice (SB's 1 & 2 on the year for Mr. Fielder).

This marks the 3rd Friar to have off season surgery. It sounds like Josh Bard's procedure is the most minor of the three (Hoffman, and Brian Giles).
