Where is Barry??????

I know it is only the first weekend of the season and it is way too early to worry about your team. But there are easily 10 to 15 clubs that could really use Barry Bonds, even with all that drama he brings. It won't be as much pressure as he went through last year and he is still a very VERY solid 3 or 4 hitter.

I know people say he would be best as a DH in the AL but there are plenty of NL teams that would not lose a thing on defense and would be a huge upgrade in the line up and the best thing about all of this is the team that needs him the most is his former team, who will be the worst team in baseball this year.

I think he's too proud a guy to play for anything less than double digit millions...

He could put a team over the top in the standings and in the luxury tax. You don't want him in the field and it would be at least until May until he's ready to play, not to mention the circus that will follow. I don't want him on my team...

I am not a fan of his at all...he is a cheat...but if he played the whole year with a team he would still have an on base % of .400+ slugging % of 1.000+ and be a home run hitter....teams need a player liuke him and the circus wont be anything like it was last year chasing the record and it be worth it if he gets you to the playoffs

The problem...what if you sign him, put up with his crap...and then you don't make the playoffs? He's more of a gamble than a help at this point.

He wouldn't be the reason you didn't make playoffs. There are very few teams that have 3 better offensive players in their line up...some do...most dont...some have 0

He's been in the gym, working on the muscles required to keep his ass closed.

Tim McCarver: You see Coacharambel, Barry, like the 6,000,000,000 other people in existence, can only live on planets with no extreme temperatures and of course, carbon dioxide. Because Earth is the only planet that can support human life, Barry Bonds is indeed on planet Earth.

He did out-homer Vladimir Guerrero, Gary Sheffield and Travis Hafner last year, He did have a higher slugging percentage than Mark Teixeira, Adam Dunn and Carlos Beltran. He did reach base more times than Manny Ramirez, Johnny Damon and Torii Hunter. And he didn't even play every day

If I were the owner of a team that is in need of a player to get me to the top or keep me there, Barry Bonds IS NOT THE ANSWER! He's trouble in the clubhouse, not exactly fan or media friendly and has the cloud of a possible prison stretch over his head like a dark cloud. I do not want to be part of the media circus that would take place every home and road game. Plus, he's not the fielder he once was, so going to an NL team is out of the question, if at all. Yes, he could DH... but would you rather lose honestly or win by having a suspected cheat on your team? I would take the losing and do my best Pilate impersonation and wash my hands of him.

If you really think he is the only one that cheated or even the names in the Mitchell Report were the only guys who were juiced, you are crazy. So should Tejada not be playing...How about Pettie...if the clubs cared about honesty we would have about 15 to 20 MLB teams then the rest filled with AAA players. I am not a fan of Barry but he can still get it done and yes his defense is horrible, but are you telling me the Giants wouldn't be better with him? There are 5 to 6 NL teams where he would make them better.

Yes they are.....I know your a fan but the aren't even close to as good as the Padres, Rockies, D Backs, or Dodgers and will be out of the playoff race by the All Star break. Whats worst is next year is not looking much better. The 3 highest payed players are Zito, Durham, and Visquel and yes they have a couple young studs but not enough to carry the team....you telling me Barry wouldn't help this team? You better be ready for a rebuilding year or two or four!
