When the Rockies opened spring training way back in February, Wade Davis was penciled in as the closer, with Scott Oberg as closer 1A.
Right-hander Daniel Bard? He was the feel-good story of the camp; a 35-year-old who had overcome a case of the yips and was trying to make a comeback after being out of the majors for seven seasons.
My how things have changed. Davis has missed most of the season with shoulder woes and might not pitch again in a Rockies uniform. Scott Oberg is out for the season as he battles blood clots in his right arm for the third time in four seasons.
