Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
Ron Paul Reacts To Maine Caucus Results
Jeremy Bonderman's had a hard time bouncing back from blood clots that cut short his 2008 season and his struggles this season have gotten bad enough that the Tigers are skipping his turn through the rotation. That's got him thinking about a radical lifestyle change when his contract is up after this season. Bonderman tells Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press that he might throw in the towel on his baseball career at the age of 27.
"The Tigers' organization have given me an opportunity to provide for my family really well," Bonderman said. "I feel like I've saved a lot of money and I have the ability to be able to do what I want -- whether it's be with my kids every day or go on fishing trips with my dad or brothers. At times I love it. At times I'm like, 'Man.'"
Bonderman signed a four-year, $38 million contract before the 2007 season so he probably does have a good amount of cash squirreled away for a rainy day. Even so, it's probably wiser to bet on seeing him continue his career when the 2010 season comes to an end.
For one thing, Bonderman tells Ellis that he'd gladly re-sign with the Tigers after the season or that he'd be into playing for a team closer to his home in Washington. He also told Ellis that "I feel like I have a lot left" which doesn't really sound like a guy staring into the career abyss. As rough as this year has been for Bonderman, 5-6, 5.01 ERA and an 86 ERA+, his velocity is getting back to where it was before the blood clot and his peripheral numbers indicate that he could post better results down the stretch.
Frustrating times can make you think about throwing it all away and going on fishing trips. If Bonderman still has times where he loves the game and still feels like he has something to offer on the mound, though, it's hard to imagine he'd walk away from the game.
