Boof Bonser inked a minor-league deal with the team yesterday. Bonser, 29, impressed as a rookie in 2006, lugging a 4.22 ERA through 18 starts with Minnesota. His numbers ballooned each year after that. The Twins booted him from the rotation in 2008.
Bonser missed all of 2009 after undergoing surgery to repair his labrum and rotator cuff. He pitched poorly in relief for Oakland and Boston last season.

2010 season - Bonser started out the year on the DL, and was not activated until June 8. He made two appearances for the Red Sox, giving up two walks, six hits, and four earned runs in two innings pitched. He recorded 0 outs in the first appearance, accumulating an ERA of 18.00 in his two appearances. The Red Sox designated him for assignment on June 18, but he elected to become a free agent after refusing minor league assignment on June 28. He signed a minor league contract with Oakland and spent July at Triple-A Sacramento. On July 31st, he was called up.
After the A's outrighted Bonser to Sacramento on 2 November, he refused the assignment, and elected to become a free agent
