I don't get it... how is this even possible?

Billy Crystal gets signed for one day and yet the Greatest Baseball Player of all Time Goes Unsigned.

You would think even the sad sack Yankees would take him.

I hope the Mets pick him up... but I think he would rather DH. I read somewhere that he was looking to plau in July, and it makes sense for a playoff push.

greatest player of all time my ass. I did kinda think the Yankees would sign him

Because he's old and too expensive.

03-22-2008, 12:57 PM

Because players only increase revenue in 2 ways, adding to win totals, or (star power) marketing/merch.

These 2 factors increase ticket sales and other revenue streams.

If Barry were to help a team win, teams are worried it WOULD NOT add to the normal win revenue because of the bad will Barry has created with the public.

Teams are also worried this ill will and legal problems plus a media circus will ALSO cost them money.

So basically GM's think they stand to earn more money "as is", because although Barry could help them win, it would do MORE damage than those wins are worth.

It is all about money. And Barry one way or the other has burned his bridges with America.

If Giambi keeps getting hurt and they trade Matsui, I could see the Yanks looking at hime.

What is crazy is that no one has signed Piazza, even as a DH.

Because:

1. He is a known locker room distraction
2. He is a magnet for reporters, even on a slow news day
3. He doesn't play defense
4. He has been indicted for felony federal charges
5. He is disrespected by fans
6. No AL team needs a high priced DH right now

more than that, but those reasons all stand alone. Together, there's no chance he gets signed until a team really needs him.

Probably the injury-plagued season he had last year - even as a DH. If healthy, he can still rake though.

1) Laugh at him
2) fire him
3) hold a press conference to tell the whole world why they canned him

No collusion in any organized sense. Nobody simply wants the headaches and bad press. Bonds is yet to have another day in court defending charges of perjury, a very serious charge, BTW, and the one that brought down Marion Jones. Bonds is fucked... and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. :)

I feel bad for his kid, though.

I would love to see him get signed somewhere in New York, just so we could see his reaction to all the retarded press there. They broke down Randy Johnson in a short time, and I would love to see Barroid have to deal with that. He's an ass (with holes in it), and it would be fun to watch.

he's also not the greatest player of all time.

Your smokin crack if you think Barry Bonds is the best player ever he's not better than Mays,Cobb,Ruth,Ted Williams,Stan Musial,Rodgers Hornsbey,Joe DiMaggio,Hank Aaron hell that just a few off the top of my head.With out the roids he is nothin that's why his bitch ass ain't playin.
But there is 1 team that will sign him The San Quintin Prison Punks hopefully he is playing there by the end of the year.
