Verlander Backs Bondo

MLB Network's Hot Stove caught up with Justin Verlander to discuss that fat contract he just signed. Most interesting to me, however, were Justin's comments about Jeremy Bonderman. He said that he and Jeremy worked out together in Florida last week, and Bondo's stuff is "night and day" compared to last year.

Is Bonderman poised for comeback player of the year? I don't know about all that, but it sure would be most gratifying to see Jeremy on the mound NOT giving up three runs the first inning of every outing. A return to form would go a long way toward our shot at the weak AL Central.

Go Bondo!

(Also watch the video to see Sean Casey telling JV that he owes him some steak dinners, since Casey picked up many a tab back when Justin was a young'un in 2006.)
