Tigers sign Bonderman

PrintThe Detroit Tigers signed 24 year old pitcher Jeremy Bonderman to a 4 year/$38 mil contract. He could have been a free agent after the 2008 season.
He gets $4.5 mil next year, $8.5 in 2008, and then $12.5 per year for the next two years.
This should give guidance for what Westbrook can expect to receive.

Re: Tigers sign Bonderman
On the deal itself, it's a great one for the Tigers. It's cost-effective and actually heads their own bad decision off at the past. They brought Bonderman up so young that they were going to lose him just as he was entering his prime. With this deal, obviously, that's not going to happen.
He will still be pitching for the Tigers, who I think are going to be miserable again pretty soon, but what can you do?
Re: Tigers sign Bonderman
Its tough to compare these contracts. Westbrook is entering free agency, which, if things occur similar to this season, increases the dollar value of a contract by 2-3M. I don't see Westbrook at $15M, but I won't count out $10+...There isn't any way the Indians can think about handing him $10+ unless attendance sky rockets for this season.

Re: Tigers sign Bonderman
I guess Miner might be pretty good going forward but I don't exactly love his peripherals. Also that bullpen is/was sick but I'm hardly in the business of predicting bullpens after the 2006 Indians.
It's not a guarantee, it's just an opinion. Unless Maybin turns out to be great, I don't think this team is going to be all that good over the next few seasons.

Seriously.
Re: Tigers sign Bonderman
Cabrera = Zumaya
Betancourt = Rodney (late blooming setup men)
T. Walker = Wickman
J. Walker = Sauerbeck (streeetch)
And then Howry hanging out in the corner.

Re: Tigers sign Bonderman
Are they the same player? No, certainly not. Are they comparable? Yeah, very. Just because Fox keeps telling you that Joel Zumaya "throws harder than anyone in the history of baseball and will probably one day be remembered as the greatest power reliever of all time!" doesn't mean you have to believe it.
