Bondo Back to the DL While Perry Returns?

Is Ryan Perry already on his way back to the majors? After being optioned to Triple-A Toledo after Detroit's first game of a day-night doubleheader on Monday, the Tigers' rookie reliever is reportedly going to rejoin the team for its weekend series with the Pirates.
According to the Freep's John Lowe, Perry wasn't with the Mud Hens for their game vs. Rochester on Thursday night, and sources indicated that he was on his way to Pittsburgh. For Perry to be called back up to the majors before his 10-day minimum assignment expires would mean that someone on the Tigers' roster is going on the disabled list. And the leading candidate for that move seems to be Jeremy Bonderman, the player for whom Perry was sent down earlier this week.
Based on his performance Monday night (six runs and eight hits allowed in four innings), Bondo didn't look ready to pitch regularly in Detroit's starting rotation. And if he can't start for the Tigers, he might not be of much use to the team right now. The original plan was presumably for Bonderman to pitch out of the bullpen, but he's never worked in such a role before. Between that and his questionable physical status, perhaps the Tigers are worried that Bondo wouldn't be a reliable option in relief.
Though Perry might need some work on his control (19 walks in 23 innings), at least he's a known commodity, having already pitched in 23 games this season and compiling an 0-1 record with a 3.23 ERA.

I for one think Bondo needs to be on this team for us to win it all...
his competitiveness is unmatched on this team. That will give that slight edge to win it all.

I don't know, I think JV might give him a run for his money
when it comes to competitiveness. haha! All joking aside, I want to see Bondo back for good asap, but he’s just not ready yet. We’re doing well enough right now that there is no need to rush him. Hopefully that will hold true for a while.

Agreed
With Verlander and Jackson pitching as well as they are and it appears Galarraga is finding his form again. Bonderman didn’t look too hot the other day, didn’t appear to be ready. I like Bondo, I would love to see him in rotation, however JV seems to be getting the job done and puts Bondo to shame right now.
Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.

Not unless he is ready
Bondo still needs some work. If he is healthy and can contribute, he would be a huge plus, but he still needs to get some things ironed-out before he is going to be able to contribute much, at least that it what it looked like to me the other night.

All these roster moves are making me seasick
but then I remember it’s the middle of June, and we’ve been pretty lucky so far with injuries. It seems like Leyland and Dombrowski are trying to find what works best for each player individually and for the team.

Well, we won't know for sure
until it’s announced. Although it probably is Bondo. Maybe his arm is still sore after his outing which means something is wrong. I’ll be shocked if it’s someone else.

Im almost positive....
…..that you have to wait 10 days before you can recall a player that you send down…..maybe its different if someones goes on the DL……Does anyone know anything more about this rule?

he can be recalled to fill a spot opened by the disabled list

Glad Perry is back up...
After the Chicago series, ALL of our bullpen looked awful. Perry isn’t bad, if he can get his walks down, he could be one of our better relievers.

Better than Lyon
Wish they’d send Lyon down in place of Perry. Wildness aside, Perry has been much better out of the bullpen than Lyon.

Gota give my props to Lyon...
…..Pitched well last 2 times out….And we need him to pitch well

What?
Lyon has been the best arm out of the pen the past two weeks. I know he’s had his struggles, but he’s really not that bad.

Lyon, in Russian, means Flame Thrower....
….unfortunately in Canadian it means Gas Can and we’re a lot closer to Canada! This guy will never appeal to the Detroit fan base after that HORRIFIC start to the season. Probably after Goalie for the Wings and Quarterback for the Lions, late relief pitcher for the Tigers is the third most difficult job in Detroit Sports. Todd Jones is the all time leader in saves for the Tigers but he would probably get a kick to the groin before a pat on the back from most Tigers fans. Rodney, short of this most recent meltdown, had actually been perfect in save opportunities this season but I’ve seen posts all over this site calling for him to be strung up from the Comerica Park flag pole. Lyon was not a popular pickup to begin with and by confirming their suspisions early these fans will probably never forgive those earlier performances. It’s probably unfortunate for Lyon, considering he actually has pitched “ok” for them the last couple of times out, but hey that’s the job I guess. Tigers fans would probably boo Mariano off the field the first time he would blow a save…We’re passionate, but not always very patient.

no, that was for the squirrel to be strung up from the foul pole!
I think I’m slowly but surely warming up to Lyon.

We need Bondo....
…..but if hes not ready Dontrelle is that man……I really thought Bondo would be that 3rd starter to step up…..however doesnt look like its gona happen…..we may just have to ride JV and EJ all season….Porcello is going to tire out and he wont be as realiable as he has been…..So we will just have to gut out the Porcello Galaraga and Willis starts…..as for the bullpen it looks like Lyon has maybe has turned a corner and with perry back we are in much better shape….Lyon Perry Zumy and Rodney will all calm down now that we are out of chicago….Hopefully

To be honest with you Dianne...
….I’m suprised!
- From the “15 Minutes of Shame” episdoe of Family Guy, One guests reaction to another guests revalation that he is not actually a man but a woman, then not really a woman but a horse, then not really a horse but a broom. Hilarious!!! Irrelevant (other than the suprised part), but hilarious!!!

For the record...
…I’m not suprised at all that he’s going back on the DL, that arm is just not ready yet. I am suprised they called him up at all. Bonderman is one of my Fave Fives so I’m hoping he can return to form at some point, but without at least a respectable fastball, Mr. Snappy just isn’t going to look quite as good, or therefore be as effective.
Get better Bondo, JV is doing “ok” for the time being, and Edwin isn’t throwing too many games away either. =)
