This guy looks quite sharp and ready! But Leyland even wants to send down (or to the bullpen) Armando in case Dontrelle will come back.... You think there is a chance for Bonine in Detroit?

If he comes here, he will get worse under the current pitching staff.

Bonine top option for No. 5 role
Rookie hurler will likely fill final rotation spot after All-Star break
By Scott McNeish / MLB.com

DETROIT -- The Tigers don't anticipate adding a new pitcher to their rotation after the All-Star break.

According to manager Jim Leyland, the club considers rookie Eddie Bonine the favorite to start for Detroit when his next turn in the rotation comes around July 21 at Kansas City. Leyland sees no stronger candidates either with the Tigers or in the farm system.

"Is it 100 percent? No," Leyland said. "Is it likely? I would say yes. Unless you guys know about someone I don't know about."

The Tigers optioned Bonine to Double-A Erie after Wednesday's game. But team president and general manager Dave Dombrowski insisted the move wasn't a response to the right-hander's consecutive rough outings. Instead, the Tigers want to keep him on a regular pitching schedule.

Detroit and Triple-A Toledo both break for an All-Star Game next week, and Erie offered the highest Minor League affiliate with a game Monday -- when Bonine's turn would normally occur.

The Tigers recalled Mud Hens first baseman Jeff Larish to fill Bonine's roster spot. The move gives Detroit an extra position player -- and left-handed bat -- for its four-game set against Minnesota before the break.

"Then we'll go ahead and we'll make a decision on who's going to start that fifth game after the All-Star break," Dombrowski said.

Bonine, in his first Major League stint, is 2-1 with a 5.40 ERA in five starts. But after notching wins over the Dodgers and Rockies, he hasn't lasted four innings in either of his past two starts.

He surrendered five runs -- two earned -- in 2 2/3 innings against Minnesota last week. In his latest outing Wednesday against the Indians, he allowed five earned runs on nine hits in 3 2/3 innings.

Sure wish Porcello would mature quickly! He is needed, but I also do want Eddie Bonine to get his act together and beat up on the American League teams!

Bonine injured in Double-A start
July 15, 2008

Eddie Bonine's start for the Tigers' Double-A Erie farm club was cut short Monday night soon after he was hit by a line drive.

Bonine left with two outs in the fourth inning. Bonine, who walked off the field under his own power, said he took the line drive flush on the left shin. He said he was OK.

"It swelled up a bit and kind of tightened up," Bonine told the Erie Times-News. "I don't think it's going to be anything that is going to linger."

The Tigers sent Bonine to Erie to keep him from going almost two weeks without a start. His most recent Tigers start was Wednesday, and the Tigers won't need him (or a replacement) until Monday.

Bonine has given up a lot of hits and left early in his past two Tigers starts. The club hasn't guaranteed he'll return to the rotation Monday, but it hasn't announced any candidates to take his place.

Bonine hadn't allowed a run Monday against Altoona when he was hit with two outs and nobody on. Bonine threw a few practice pitches over the catcher's head, allowed an RBI double to the next batter, then hit a batter. He then left the game.

Bonine came up from Triple-A Toledo a month ago to take Dontrelle Willis' spot in the Tigers' rotation. Bonine started for Erie instead of Toledo on Monday because the Mud Hens are on their All-Star break.
