Bonine Has Shot at Number 5 Spot

July 10th, 2008 | Author: Chad Gramling

Tigers rookie, Eddie Bonine debuted earlier this season and became the 65 former Wizards player to reach the MLB level. He is 2-1 with a 5.40 ERA in five starts. He produced wins against the Dodgers and Rockies, but hasn’t made it past the fourth inning in either of last two starts.Detroit optioned Bonine to Double-A Erie after Wednesday’s game, but the club insisted it wasn’t a response to Bonine’s recent bad streak. Rather, the goal is to keep the right handed pitcher on a regular schedule as he looks to be the regular number five starter afte rthe 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 [source: MLB.com].
