Rep Power: 2  | Tigers give Bonderman $38 million extension
Quote:
DETROIT -- Pitcher Jeremy Bonderman and the Detroit Tigers agreed Monday to a $38 million, four-year contract.
Bonderman, who would have been eligible for free agency after the 2008 season, gets $4.5 million in 2007, $8.5 million in 2008 and $12.5 million in each of the following two seasons.
The 24-year-old right-hander was 14-8 with a 4.08 ERA and 202 strikeouts in 34 starts last season, when the Tigers finished with their first winning record since 1993 and won their first AL pennant since 1984. Bonderman was 1-0 with a 3.10 ERA in three postseason starts for Detroit, which lost the World Series to St. Louis in five games.
Bonderman is a holdover from the 2003 Tigers team that set an AL record with 119 losses. He went 6-19 that year, his rookie season.

| Smart move by the Tigers, Bonderman is a good pitcher when he has the right defense behind him and they all come to play, a jewel right here that the Tigers don't need to risk loosing...
