Jeremy Bonderman.Too many walks. 29 BB and 30 K. Enough said. One of those 15 day DL deals and allow him a start or two in Toledo. Wouldn't mind seeing Eddie Bonine (7-0, 2.98 era, 29k, 6 bb and 1.06 whip ). I mean we bring up Armando Galarraga from Toledo where he had good numbers and he comes up and throws games of 2,0,1,2 and 5 runs with a 21 k to 9 bb ratio and 3 QS in 5 games ( Tigers are last in QS in the league with 9 ). Justin Verlander has 1, Nate Robertson 0, Jeremy Bonderman 1 and Kenny Rogers 4 . Tigers have also won 5 of the 6 games he has started. If the starters we have now can't get the job done than someone else has to be given the chance. Just throw some strikes.

I'd go withputting Jeremy Bonderman on DL - if he won't get bent out of shape about it.  However, I see Bonderman as prime trade bait, to be used by Dombrowski to add another bat.

IMO - Robertson to the pen and dump Dolsi or Bobby Seay.

It sounds like Willis will be back in about 10 days. If 2 rehab starts go without a hitch.

You want to dump Seay and Dolsi?

LETS SEE...Seay has a 2.13 era... and Dolsi has 3.00 era ...1 run in just 3 innings. So you want to cut the guy with the 3rd best era on the team?

OK...get rid of Zach Miner then or Clay Rapada...... We're not talking about Hall of Famers here.

A. Dolsi has pitched in two (2) games.  .308 BA against

B. If Robertson goes to the pen, we'd have 3 lefties. Don't need more than 2, IMO

C. Does it really matter?

There is a good chance that Willis won't be around long anyhow.

As soon as Willis comes back, some other starter is going on the DL with a 'tired arm'. They're not going to bother with the bullpen

Dumping Clay Rapada would be the most rediculous move that we could do right now. The guy has given up only 1 run this year and still has not walked anyone in 9 IP. Miner would be an okay move to send him down, but like you said if we put Robertson in the pen then we would have 3 lefties. I don't think we really need to worry about this right now sense Willis just gave up 5 runs in 5 1/3 in his last start in the minors. He could be down there for a while.

Dontrelle Willis sucks to be honest with you.  Not in the business of flat out trashing players, but dude couldn't strike out Rob Deer right now.  A little tid bit, he had 21 strikes the other day, and the opposing team hit 19 of them.  Thats pretty much garbage.
