Bring on the Boof!

As in "Boof" Bonser, a righthander currently toiling for the Twins' Triple A team in Rochester. Mr. Bonser currently sports a 2-1 record and an ERA well under 3.00, which indicates that he has achieved mastery over Triple A hitters. Can he do the same in the American League?

It's clearly time to find out. Kyle Lohse continues to demonstrate that the only thing he can win is an arbitration hearing, as he was again rocked by the Tigers last night in a 7-3 defeat. Lohse is, to use a favorite word, "enigmatic." In sports parlance, that means someone who possesses, but never seems to harness, talent. In other words, he's not getting it done.

Time grows short. The White Sox and Tigers are getting away. Francisco Liriano is on his way into the Twins rotation already. Scott Baker may not be ready to go and Brad Radke is running on fumes. Time to bring on the Boof!
