Kevin Wheeler:

The A’s sent righthander Jeremy Bonderman to the Tigers to complete the Jeff Weaver-Ted Lilly-Carlos Pena trade. Bonderman was 9-8 with a 3.61 ERA over 144 2/3 innings and he struck out a whopping 160 batters while walking 55. That’s an impressive performance for a 19 year-old in the hitter-friendly high Class A California League.
