Bonfe was drafted in the 21st round of the 2009 draft.
Prior to draft: link : Joe is in his first season at Sierra College after playing at Creighton University. After deciding to leave Creighton, Joe had an outstanding summer in the Northwoods League where he played for the Eau Claire Express. He had the fourth best batting average in the league, was selected as an All-Star, and received the Rawlings Big Stick Award. He is a versatile player and can play any position but his primary position is third base. In high school Joe played varsity baseball, hockey, and football.

http://www.sierra.cc.ca.us/Programs/divisions/HealthPERA/baseball/infielders.html - "Bonfe, an infielder and the Express' biggest power hitter, is a sophomore at Sierra College in California. The 6-foot-4, 220-pounder was batting .360 with one double and five RBIs before Wednesday's game."
http://www.leadertelegram.com/blogs/blog.asp?id=509 - "I'm just happy, excited. I'm thinking about going," said Bonfe, who was the 644th overall pick. "It's exciting and my family's really excited. Everyone's excited. It's an exciting time."
http://www.leadertelegram.com/story-ros.asp?id=BK9D6313KCA - Bonfe played most of the 2009 season for Kingsport and had impressive stats: .327/.426/.462/.888 in 156 at bats. He received a late promotion to Brooklyn to help the out in the playoffs.
Forecast on 1-1-10:: Zach Lutz remains the top third base prospect, followed by Jenry Marte, who has stalled out and will repeat Savannah in 2010. This has created a four person log jam behind him that have all earned a promotion: Bonfe and Richard Lucas in Brooklyn, and Charlie Hinojosa and Adrian Rodriquez on the GCL team. Come spring, I look for Bonfe to reamin in Brooklyn and the more-experienced Lucas to go straight to Lucy.
6-28-10: - Bonfe had three hits in the Cylcones game Sunday, raising his batting average to .333.
7-19-10: - Bonfe continues to play and hit well for the Cyclones this year. On Monday, he went 2-4, whiched raised his yearly batting average to .347 (101-AB, .426-slug, .843-OPS). That currently ranks him 7th in BA in the league. Lately, he’s been playing more DH than 3B, which I hate in the minor leagues.
