Shoulder Trouble

Jeremy Bonderman suffered a set back with his surgically repaired shoulder. Bless You Boys wonders how bad it might be:

Remain calm, Leyland said, all is well. Bondo would instead pitch in a simulated game where coaches could watch him more closely, and his pitch count could be controlled exactly. (Such a strategy didn't look so bad after Dontrelle Willis pushed through 43 pitches on Friday.)

But what are we to think after the Tigers canceled Bonderman's simulated game, opting to prescribe anti-inflammatory meds and sit him down for a couple of days? I kind of feel the same as when I'm watching a movie and a character coughs noticeably. Okay, something bad's going to happen.

The strange thing is, despite poor strikeout and walk numbers in 2008, Bonderman posted the 2nd best ERA of his career before succumbing to the injury. He's still very young. The Tigers seem willing not to rush the healing process, so there's still every reason to hope Bonderman fulfills his potential.
