The Grapefruit League gets going for the Red Sox today. Casey Kelly takes the mound in Game 1 & Boof Bonser gets the nod in Game 2.
Not much has been said about the acquisition of Bonser. But isn't "Boof" a great name? You've got to love it.
Bonser is looking to make this team as a long man / emergency starter, a role Justin Masterson played in the past. He did not pitch all of last year, but says he is throwing pain free. Boof does not care what role he is assigned. He's just looking to make the team.
Bonsor has experience with the Minnesota Twins. Like a lot of hard throwing kids, his arm got injured & he took all of 2009 off. As Theo would say, he is a low risk / high reward potential player.
Good luck, Boof! I like your name.
