Tomorrow

Boof will make his twelfth start of the season tomorrow against the Angels opposite Jered Weaver.

In May, Boof was 4-0 with a 2.45 ERA and 38 strikeouts in 36.2 innings pitched. For the season, he has a 9.82 K/IP ratio. That puts him fourth in all of baseball, behind Johan Santana, Eric Bedard, and Jake Peavy. Not bad.

Spiraling out of control...upwards.

After a career of minor league team sets and "prospect" cards, Boof's big break last year landed him on the checklists of a number of premium and high-end baseball card sets. A Boof card can now set you back as much as $50 (if you don't count the Boof Bonser/Francisco Liriano/Justin Verlander/Jered Weaver/Jon Papelbon autograph card - someone wanted $350). For a treat, then, here is Boof's first autograph card, a 2001 Upper Deck Minor League Centennial autograph, which yours truly, Voltaire, bought for $4 in 2002, which is now worth...$10, I guess.
