AddisonStSox Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 My favorite player in baseball right now, other than a member of our belov'ed Sox, is Jeremy Bonderman--hands down. My question to you: what is the contract of this 22-year-old ace in the making and has he expressed any interest to play elsewhere? Also, would would it take to net this kid via trade (wheter the White Sox or not)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Detroit would never trade thier ace to the Sox, for sure. It would take a giant package to land him, if a team was interested they would have to overwelm the Detroit Brass with a deal that could not be rejected.

No doubt; hence, the question regarding contract status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Get used to the idea that Bonderman will a thorn in our sides for years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 This will be what his 3rd or 4th year in the majors? Detroit won't be able to control his arbitration rights for many more years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Detroit spends money though. He'll make a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 It would take a lot to get Bonderman, but to suggest he is untradeable is a little ridiculous. No player is untradeable - I'm sure even the White Sox would trade Jon Garland for the right package right now. Of course, the right package would include probably about $20 mill in money, someway or another, someone to take on Dye and his fugly ass contract, a stud RFer, a good SP to replace Garland, along with 2 bullpen arms and 2 prospects(hopefully Steinbrenner is listening) I would guess it would take the FG package * 2, talent wise. Probably 2 top 5 specs, and then 1 or 2 more top 20 specs. No team should want to pay that. So ya, he is pretty much untradeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSteve Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Bonderman, Garland, Ryan Franklin, Ben Hendrickson, and Mike Maroth all had comparable numbers enough going into this season. He is a solid number two, he is only their number one because, well, Maroth is their number two. He is good, but still raw. I'd take Carlos Zambrano who is a year older over him in a second. He seems like a good kid though. 2003 was his first year, lost 19 games IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
