by Ben Buchanan on May 24, 2010 1:53 AM EDT in Minors

I know he didn't have the best start, but. . .

Pawtucket Game 1 L 1-18

Box Score

Wow

Josh Reddick: 1-4
Aaron Bates: 0-4, 2 K
Lars Anderson: 2-4, 2B

Boof Bonser: 1 IP, 7 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 0 HR
-Still baffled by this signing.

Kalish gets a day off after the double header post-jump.

Pawtucket Game 2 W 1-0 (In 7)

Box Score

Doubront's start lost to a rain delay. Alas.

Josh Reddick: 1-3, PO
Daniel Nava: 0-3, 2 K
-First game back from an oblique injury suffered about a week ago.
Aaron Bates: 0-3, K
Jorge Jimenez: 1-2, BB, K

-A good start to a start, at least.

Portland W 7-6 (In 10)

Box Score

Mike Cameron: 3-5, 2B, HR, K
-Hopefully his 10th inning walkoff shot will be his last minor league at bat. Probably not, though, even with him raking.

Luis Exposito: 1-4, K
Anthony Rizzo: 0-4, K
Yamaico Navarro: 1-4, SB

Wow.

The Bulls took Bonser out behind the woodshed in the first game and TJ Large wasn’t ready to bail him out either. It’s been 15 months since they worked on Bonser’s shoulder.
Ooch.

Just type in “Boof Bonser” on the link for his injury history.

Boof

I told most of you how shitty he was going to be. Now who’s laughing? (Secretly crying because god must hate us for allowing the Sox to sign him)

at least Bonser is proving how sucky he is in AAA

unlike Smoltz last year, who got to prove it with the big league club.

Hopefully Bonser gets released before he pulls a Smoltz

He doesn't have the star power smoltz does

no reason I can see they won’t DFA him rather than put him on the roster if he’s performing like that at AAA

Id bring up Doubront before this bum

in a heartbeat. Richardson as well. Bonser is trash. Doubront and Richardson are the future.

Bonser signed for $650k with the chance to make the team out of spring training.

Didn’t happen and may never happen. Sometimes after having work done on the shoulder, the pitcher completely loses his confidence and goes dead in the water.
If he’s lost it, then DFA, if he’s maybe still a bit hurt then DL him and send him to extended spring training to work on his arm and his head.
Right now, if we need a spot on the 40 man roster, you know who gets DFA’d.

If DFA’d, he would most likely go unclaimed and may then be sent to Ft Myers to continue the rehab and not be on the 40 man if he doesn’t retire first.

Robert Manual could be a fit for the open 40 man spot. Then we could bring him up for a chance to improve our bullpen.
Bullpen options on the 40 man today include:
Mike Bowden
Dustin Richardson
Scott Atchison
Ramon A. Ramirez
Fabio Castro
Felix Doubront
Boof Bonser

If you had to pick one pitcher to move up this weekend, who would you go with?

Manuel without question.

USG

if they really wanted Manuel, they could anyways

there is one spot open on the 40 man at the moment. Now presumably, they’re just saving that spot for Lowrie when he gets back, but that appears to still be a while, and I’m sure they’d have some pitcher they’d be willing to DFA by then. Boof does seem as good a candidate as any for a DFA.

by wolf9309 on May 24, 2010 3:34 PM EDT up reply actions

That open spot on the 40 man

could also be used if a pitcher on another team gets DFA’d and we want to take a quick chance on him. Send Atchison back down off the 25 man and take a quick look at whoever it may be to try to improve this bullpen.
Or they could add Manual right now, but they may like the little bit of flexibility the open spot adds. It won’t be kept open to long.
