Tigers Moves Bring in One Former Wizard, Oust Another

January 24th, 2009 | Author: Chad Gramling

A couple days ago, the Detroit Tigers signed former Wizards pitcher, Jaun Rincon to a minor league contract. Today, the Tigers announced they have signed relievers Brandon Lyon and Scott Williamson in an obvious effort to shore up their bullpen. One might even become the closer when the season starts.

Unfortunately, the moves also pretty much means a Detroit end for another former Wizards pitcher. Eddie Bonine was designated for assignment to clear a roster spot.

Bonine made his Major League debut last season, coming up in the wake of Dontrelle Willis’s failure and subsequent demotion to the minors.

With the Wizards in 2004, Bonine went 2-1 with a 1.98 ERA over five games (all of them starts). He struck out 31 and walked three in 27 innings pitched. Bonine was originally drafted by San Diego in 2003 and the Tigers later got him as a Rule 5 Draft selection.
