Bonine To Debut Against Dodgers

June 14th, 2008 | Author: Chad Gramling

It’s official. Former Wizards pitcher, Eddie Bonine will debut against the Los Angeles Dodgers today.

Right-hander Eddie Bonine makes his Major League debut on Saturday as the Tigers continue their Interleague series with the Dodgers. After posting a 9-2 record at Toledo, the Tigers hope Bonine follows in the footsteps of April callup Armando Galarraga and experiences immediate success.

“It’s very exciting,” Bonine said Friday night in a phone interview. “It’s something I’ve been working towards for the last four, five years.”

In the 27-year-old Bonine, the Tigers have a pitcher who excels in the control department. This season he has walked only 14 batters in 74 1/3 innings. Last year at Double-A Erie, he walked 24 in 154 2/3 innings — a 1.34 walks-per-nine-innings average that led the Eastern League.

“He’s an unbelievable competitor,” Tigers infielder and Bonine’s former Toledo teammate Michael Hollimon said. “With that guy, you know what you’re going to get. He’s locked in.”

Bonine will become the 65th Wizards player to make a MLB debut. Read more about that in my earlier post.
