Bonine Set to Debut; Become 65th Wizard Big Leaguer

June 11th, 2008 | Author: Chad Gramling

Tigers manager Jim Leyland indicates that there’s a 90 percent chance that former Fort Wayne Wizards Pitcher, Eddie Bonine will be Detroit’s starter on Saturday; pitching in place of the recently demoted Dontrelle Willis. Though it isn’t yet final, Leyland will likely choose between Bonine, who is slated to start that day for Triple-A Toldeo, and the just-arrived left-handed Casey Fossum.

If Bonine debuts, he will become the 65th Wizard in the team’s history to make an MLB debut and the third this season (Jared Wells and Luke Carlin are the other two). He’ll be the first former Wizards player to debut with the Detroit Tigers, making them the 13 team that a former Wizards player has debuted with.le 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 got him as a Rule 5 Draft selection (anyone else thinking Joakim Soria right now?).
