Dolsi Goes Down, Bonine Comes Back

In the rush to get away from it all for a bit after yesterday's game, we forgot to mention that the Tigers did a little roster shuffling between Detroit and Toledo.

As you had to have expected after his outing on Wednesday (three hits and three walks in less than two innings), reliever Freddy Dolsi was sent back down to Triple-A following the Tigers' 2-0 win.  Called up to take his place is Eddie Bonine, making his third appearance on the major league roster this season. 

Jason Beck reports on his blog that Bonine will work out of the bullpen, in the same sort of long relief role that he had when making the team out of Spring Training.  But if Armando Galarraga hasn't recovered from his flu bug for his next turn in the rotation (scheduled for Sunday), Bonine will take his place.

I thought Bonine looked pretty damn good in his last outing.

I was especially impressed

with his hair cut…. I hope he hasn’t changed it or anything. Was a good omen, I thought.

This makes no sense . . .

Why not have Bonine, or someone else up, on Wednesday when we needed somebody to eat innings, instead of Dolsi who just pitched two innings. We have Miner for long relief, now we’re going to waste an additional spot on Bonine/Lambert when we’d rather have Fien/Dolsi.

They’re just wasting options on these guys.

do roster moves ever make sense to you?

it’d appear they don’t, based on your past comments :)

bonine started for Toledo on sunday

So he was unavailable on Wed. Galarraga may not be able to pitch on Sunday. So they brought up Bonine as insurance
