Timeline

1981

John Paul "Boof" Bonser (born October 14, 1981) is an American former professional baseball pitcher.

He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox, and Oakland Athletics.

Bonser attended Gibbs High School, compiling a record of 24–9 and a 1.99 earned run average.

In his senior year, he went 7–3 with a 1.88 ERA and hit .523 with 11 home runs.

2000

He was named the 2000 Pinellas County High School Player of the Year and played in the 2000 Florida State All-Star game.

Bonser was selected out of high school by the San Francisco Giants in the first round (21st overall) of the 2000 Major League Baseball draft.

He made his professional baseball debut at age 18 for the Single-A Salem-Keizer Volcanoes, going 1–4 with a 6.00 ERA in 10 games (nine starts).

2001

In 2001, he had a breakout season for the Single-A Hagerstown Suns, leading the South Atlantic League in wins (16), and finishing second in strikeouts (178), which earned him South Atlantic League Most Valuable Pitcher and post-season All-Star honors.

After the season, he had his first name legally changed to his childhood nickname, "Boof".

2002

From 2002 through 2003, Bonser progressed steadily through the Giants' system, reaching the Triple-A level at the end of the 2003 season with the Fresno Grizzlies.

2003

On November 14, 2003, Bonser was traded to the Minnesota Twins organization, along with pitchers Joe Nathan and Francisco Liriano, for catcher A. J. Pierzynski, and cash.

2004

Bonser was assigned to Double-A New Britain for 2004, and was promoted to the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings for a spot start at the end of the season.

2005

He then spent the entire 2005 season in Rochester.

2006

As Bonser continued to pitch in the minors without any further breakout seasons, his status as an elite prospect faded, but after a fast start at Rochester in 2006 in which he posted an earned run average of 2.01, he was promoted to the majors.

On May 17, 2006, Bonser was called up to the Twins to replace struggling starter Kyle Lohse in the rotation, with Lohse going to Triple-A.

Bonser made his major league debut on May 21, as the starting pitcher against the Milwaukee Brewers.

In six innings, he allowed one run and struck out eight.

On May 27, his second start, Bonser earned his first major league victory in a 9–5 win over the Seattle Mariners.

Bonser pitched five innings, giving up eight hits and four runs, including a home run.

His second win came against the Chicago Cubs on June 24.

He pitched 6 1⁄3 scoreless innings, allowing six hits and no walks, with one strikeout.

After a disappointing start against the Kansas City Royals on July 4, Bonser was returned to Triple-A Rochester.

He had made seven major league starts, going 2–2 with a 5.30 ERA.

After a month at Rochester, he was called up to make an emergency start on August 2 in place of the injured Francisco Liriano, then sent back to Rochester after the game, in which he gave up seven runs in four innings.

By August 12, Liriano had been placed on the disabled list, and Bonser was back in Minneapolis to face the Toronto Blue Jays.

Although he lost the game, allowing seven hits and three runs over 5 2⁄3 innings, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire decided to keep him in the starting rotation.

As the Twins pushed for a playoff spot in 2006, Bonser solidified the fifth starter's job.

Then, a string of injuries and ineffective pitching by other Twins pitchers and Bonser's commanding recent performances earned him the #2 spot in the Twins' postseason rotation.

In his postseason start, he pitched six innings, allowing two runs, to pick up a no-decision as the Twins lost to the Oakland Athletics.

Bonser was named the AL Rookie of the Month for September 2006 for his performances in the final month of the season.

He finished the season 7–6 with a 4.22 ERA in 18 starts.

2007

Bonser began the 2007 season as the second pitcher in the Twins rotation, behind Johan Santana.

Bonser's first two starts were dramatically different, as he followed a six inning start in which he allowed two earned runs by allowing six earned runs in 4 1⁄3 innings.

He then responded with a string of quality starts, but was 2–9 after Memorial Day.

In 31 games (30 starts), Bonser posted an 8–12 record with a 5.10 ERA, and had 136 strikeouts in 173 innings pitched.

After the 2007 season, the Twins organization became worried about Bonser's weight.

He had struggled with stamina and pitching late into ball games during the 2007 season, so the Twins encouraged him to lose weight, which he accomplished by a healthier diet, combined with more intense exercise.

2008

He lost thirty pounds by the start of the 2008 regular season.

Bonser pitched the second game in the 2008 Twins' season, and was the only returning starter who had pitched at least twelve games for the Twins during the previous season.

2016

Bonser was inducted into the Hagerstown Suns Hall of Fame on May 14, 2016.
