i actually like both of them, but if i had to take just one i would aim for kazmir even though they are both close... kazmir does have the better stuff even though he has the highest chance of injury due to his mechanics... kazs whip is high due to the amount of walks, but once he gets those walks under control a bit, he could turn into a top pitcher especially with that tampa bay offense behind him....

I'm gonna go with Yoda on this one. In addition, I think Bonderman is farther along in his development and while both of them could turn into very good pitchers I see Bonderman developing quicker.
Kazmir's division is too tough for me to feel comfortable starting him on a consistent basis. Don't forget how young Bonderman is (almost 23). He has a LOT of room to improve, even though it seems like he's been in the league for a while.
I'd take Bonderman, and I was really high on Kazmir as a Mets fan. Maybe if Kazmir were on a different team, in a different division, but right now Bonderman is and seems like he will remain the better bet. Both are immensly talented, though, so this could change.

u do know that kazmir is only 21 right??? so bonderman really has a whole year of experience on kazmir right now,,, will be interesting to see if kazmir improves this year like bonderman did last year......
