Starter: Boof Bonser

Who is he? The newest member of the Red Sox, Boof Bonser is best known for being the least important piece of one of the most lopsided trades of all time when he went from the Giants to the Twins along with Joe Nathan and Francisco Liriano for what ended up being one year of A.J. “The A Stands for Asshole” Pierzynski. Boof (which is now his legal name) is actually a pretty bad pitcher, but he showed some promise in a move to the bullpen in 2008 before his season and probably career were derailed by a torn rotator cuff AND labrum.

Why do we like him? Because his name is Boof. He’s a longshot to have any sort of impact ever again, but we’ll be rooting for ya, Boof.
