It would be so fun to watch!!! Please, please please let it happen!!!

they can't, the owners/gms are colluding against him

Can't be any worse than Richie Sexson. At least Bonds can still hit.

Sexon sucks he came to the Dbacks with a lot of hype and didnt do shit! DOnt see him doing much with the Yanks maybe hit into some double plays ..

Really? What is Bond's hitting against lefties this year?

please god no

It would be interesting as all hell but there's no way the Yankees will further align themselves with steroids any more than they already were.

man I would totally be done the rest of this year if they signed that guy..total cancer in locker-room ( we already got one of those) :cool:

what the hell sign him the clubhouse is already a mess

I would LOVE to see Bonds mouth off to Posada or Jeter in the Yankees clubhouse.

That would be worth the signing right there.

That piece of garbage has no place on the Yankees roster.

i'd hate to see bonds go to the yankees...he'd bat 360 with 20 hrs down the stretch...but that's why he's not playing for anybody, they won't let him...the guy is one of the greatest hitters in the history of the game...his obp last season was .480

Bonds would be way better than Sexson. Bonds will get walked a lot when he's not putting balls into the seats in right field of Yankee Stadium. Sexson will strike out a lot and probably hit under .250. Stupid move by the Yankees to go with Sexson over Bonds. And a helluva lot less interesting. If Bonds can get back into baseball this year it'll be one of the most exciting stories in sports because of the fascination level that people will have.

That's just stupid. If the guy can help the team you should want him. I'd like to see it just because it'd be such a fascinating development.

I wanted Bonds to sign with the a's.

But like Billy beane said, we are trying to get younger.

That's just stupid. If the guy can help the team you should want him. I'd like to see it just because it'd be such a fascinating development. guess no-other team sees it that way either

guess no-other team sees it that way either


Am I the only one who likes drama in sports? Can you imagine Bonds in NY? His ego, the media, the fans, the clubhouse atmosphere ... it'd be haywire! A veritable circus. It'd be awesome. We need more visionaries like me running some of these major league teams. Sheesh!

Really? What is Bond's hitting against lefties this year? I love have you're tying your hopes to what Sexson's doing against lefties. What's he had, 70 at bats or so? He's done and so are the Yankees. Enjoy the rest of the season, mouseketeer..

It's a great idea for a thread but as soon as they signed Sexson you just know it ain't happening. Unless.....BRING HIM BACK FOR THE PLAYOFFS! that way he can't really work on his HR record.

guess no-other team sees it that way either

is really is about collusion....and my guess is that baseball still has some shit on bonds that they'll give up if he bitches too much....they just want the whole steroid era behind them

is really is about collusion....and my guess is that baseball still has some shit on bonds that they'll give up if he bitches too much....they just want the whole steroid era behind them totally agree..and as much as I hate collusion..I think in the case of bonds..its a good call by baseball..you can bet Bud and the owners had alot of conversation about bonds in the off season :cool:

New York is already a media circus with A-Rod. Bonds would make it a bigger one. I would not want him on this team. He is a cancer in the club house. Both these guys have not won rings, so having them both is not the answer here.

the Yankees needed a RH bat and there's not much need for another Lefty bat.

No matter what team you like, why would you want Bonds? Even if he puts up decent numbers the guy is gonna cause a media circus and distract any team in contention. The only teams that should sign him is like the Royals, Pirates, Orioles or something. He will draw fans to the game but Bonds never wins any championships anyway even in his prime.

You can't blame Bonds for not winning his team a championship. He did everything he could against the Angels. The guy batted almost .500 and had an OBP of .700...unfortunately he couldn't pitch for them too. The Giants were what, 7 outs from winning a title before the bullpen imploded in game 6? Bonds is the best player to ever play the game in my opinion and it's a shame that he can't get a chance.

Best chemically enhanced player ever, possibly.

He was a first ballot HOF before all the steroid allegations.

That is debatable.

He was nowhere near all this "best player ever" bullshit, however.

Wait, you are saying that if he had the same career w/o the juice that it would be debatable if he would make it into the HOF on the first ballot?

That is debatable.

yeah, actually, an argument can be made that he was

roids or not, the guy put up numbers only ruth can match....if roids were that amazing, wouldn't other players have ruth type numbers? and i'm not talking just homers... batting average, obp and slugging % too....not to mention bonds stole a ton of bases too

Stick to that kiddie porn you stupid jackass, what a clown.

Short porch, let's play!

I think I heard Jason Stark on Sid Rosenberg mention this. That Bond's agent wants 300,000 bucks for Bonds to play with a team and no one will bite. Well things have changed for Barry and not just his hat size.

I also heard Barry is willing to donate his entire salary to the teams charity of choice.

So he is willing to play for free.

Is that really true? Do you have a link for that?

It is amazing how you have some athletes really have a hard time hanging it up (Farve too). I think Ricky Henderson never announced his retirement too?

"Borris has said Bonds would be willing to play for a prorated share of the $390,000 minimum and donate his salary to buy tickets for kids."

Thanks for that!! I don't think Bonds' agent would be too pleased with that low of a salary because he would not get that much money for that type of contract.

Bonds has acted like an ass for a long time and now he is finally paying for it.

Wait, you are saying that if he had the same career w/o the juice that it would be debatable if he would make it into the HOF on the first ballot?

No, I'm saying that he wouldn't have had the career that he had without the juice.

If he had the career that he has had without being proven to have been a roid head, there's no question he'd be a first ballot HOFer and could be legitimately discussed as perhaps the greatest player of all time.

He simply wouldn't have come anywhere close to the HR total that he ended up amassing if he wasn't a steroid user. Furthermore, because of that, his OBP and OPS would also be significantly lower. Take away the massive amount of HRs that he hit post steroids, adjust his OBP and OPS, and he's merely one of many great players.

roids or not, the guy put up numbers only ruth can match....if roids were that amazing, wouldn't other players have ruth type numbers? and i'm not talking just homers... batting average, obp and slugging % too....not to mention bonds stole a ton of bases too

You can't just say "roids or not."

That is a bullshit cop-out and disrespects men like Ken Griffey Junior who played this game clean over the last couple decades.

Your argument is completely bogus. WOW IF ONLY KGJ HAD USED ROIDS, IMAGINE HOW MANY HRS HE'D HAVE RIGHT NOW... IMAGINE WHAT HIS .BA, OBP, OPS WOULD BE AS WELL!! Just imagine KGJ on steroids... steroids help an athlete come back quicker from injury and help prevent early injury (while often resulting in health complications LATER in life... you got that to look forward to, Bonds you scumbag). Fucking A, KGJ would probably have 800 HRs right now if only he had realized that he needed to be on steroids if he was going to keep up with human excrement like Barry Bonds. :rolleyes: WRONG.

WITH STEROIDS, the guy put up numbers only Babe Ruth can match. Wow, give him a fucking cookie. Doesn't put him in the discussion for best player ever. He lost that right when he stuck that needle in his ass.

You already said that Barry was a sure-fire first ballot HOFer BEFORE steroids... that makes it pretty obvious, IMO, why other players weren't able to replicate what he was able to achieve on the juice. He was starting from a much higher skill level than 85-90% of all other ballplayers. Juice turned him into a ballplaying Superman.

Griffey was better than Bonds while Bonds was still human... just imagine what Griffey would have been like on the juice. :rolleyes:

there are thousands of different changes over the years that can either help or hurt any argument for who is the greatest to ever play...from roids to training to diet or equipment and changes in rules

and who says griffey never used? you? i'd honestly be shocked if he didn't...he just hasn't gotten caught

i'm not fan of bonds but to just discredit everything he did due to roids is ignorant...it helped him just like it's helped hundreds if not thousands of other players...yet nobody else put up the numbers he did

players are still using shit today...we just don't know how to detect it yet

players have always cheated...either with medication, loaded bats or doctoring baseballs...this is nothing new and will not end with this steroid era

I'm just telling you how *I* judge players. You can look at Griffey's body and tell that he has never used, just like you can look at Bonds and tell that he has (not to mention the mountain of other evidence... anyone who has yet to read "Game of Shadows" btw, should pick it up).

A player who has been PROVEN to be a roid-head shouldn't be considered in any discussion for "best player ever." There has NEVER been something that has helped players hit the ball (yes, steroids DO improve muscle twitch reflexes), hit homeruns, and stay healthy and incredibly productive until ages never before seen etc. etc. etc as did steroids.

Sure players continue to cheat. That doesn't mean we should be okay with it, or stop doing all that we can to detect and expose those who are cheating the game.

i honestly have more of an issue with loaded bats or other forms of cheating than steroids...loaded bats are an extra advantage....while steroids help you, it's still your body doing the work....it's almost like saying you can only get your body in so good of shape before we call it cheating...isn't that basically what they're saying? bonds created the perfect body for hitting a baseball...he's not using a bionic arm or something...it's just him using the right chemicals, vitamins, diet and training to create the perfect human body for hitting a baseball...if steroids didn't cause cancer they wouldn't be illegal

Griffey was better than Bonds while Bonds was still human... just imagine what Griffey would have been like on the juice. :rolleyes:

Look at the stats, Bonds was a better all around player than Griffey even before the steroid allegations. He won 3 MVPs to Griffey's 1 in the 90's...not to mention he went on to win 4 more. And you make it sound like Barry couldn't hit home runs before the steroid questions. The guy consistantly put up 30 and 40+ home run seasons just about every year. Like I said, the guy was the best player to ever lace em up in my opinion.

Cane, the kid is clueless, forget it...
