Bonds no longer a Giant

The Giants and Barry knew this was going to happen.
A few years late, I believe.
Barry is not the left fielder he used to be.
Still a feared batter.
Would be a great DH in the American league.
If Bond's would of went to 1st base 2 years ago, He could of finished his career in SF.

I think he'll come cheap next year, he really wants to get to 3000. And most likely he'll stay out west. The Mariners desperately need offense, but picture him in the middle of an already potent Angels' lineup.

I think he would be an angel.
Being that he live's in SoCal.

Now Barry can go where his hitting can be used in a positive role.....He will really help on a team who can compete.......It's time....

Should be an interesting scenario.

Left handed power hitter should be looking for a park suited to him on an American League club.

I wonder if George can afford Barry and ARod on the same team.

The sooner he's out of baseball the better. I hope nobody signs him.

Barry will make alot of money as a DH.......

I think we'll see more clubs than you might imagine looking into having Bonds as their DH next year. Imagine for a moment, the Yankees lineup with Bonds hitting cleanup. He'd have quality hitters in front of him and behind him, and he could potentially produce a final outstanding year. Or, the Anaheim ( I won't say that current name they fancy) Angels. He lives in SoCal, and the Angels would be pretty fearsome with him in the middle. Or, Boston. Imagine what the Red Sox would do offensively with Manny, Bonds and Ortiz hitting 3,4,5. That might be the most prolific middle of a lineup ever. I have a feeling, even at his age, that Bonds could have a very productive year in either Yankee Stadium or Fenway Park.

If he were hitting in either of the Red Sox or Yankees lineups, how do you pitch around him? It would be an ultimate pitcher's nightmare. While I think that Anaheim has to be the odds-on favorite to land him, I'd rather see him playing for either the Red Sox or Yankees. That would be interesting to watch for a final season or two.

Again, I say this within the confines of TPM's guideline that we're leaving politics out of the discussion, just considering where he might end up. I think it'll be with a club favored to go to the playoffs, and for a LOT of money.

100% lock...He'll sign with the Oakland Raiders.

No, no, he's retiring. I have confirmed sources that say he's quitting baseball to become a pharmaceutical rep.

I am going to disagree on the Angels as being an option. He would clog up there bases, and wreck team chemistry. Doesn't seem to be the way they are headed.

I am going to go with the Red Sox, and bat him 5th behind Ortiz and Manny.

Please keep that cancer off my favorite team!

dbg that's why I sent him to the Red Sox, how about a compromise that will make us both happy, let's give him to the White Sox?
