March 22, 200519 yr comment_456654 He'll probably come up with some lame formula showing how the Giants still win the division Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/26337-the-official-mays24bonds25-suicide-watch-thread/?&do=findComment&comment=456654 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 22, 200519 yr comment_456655 No, he's going to come back and say how everyone should feel sorry for Barry.. Give me a break. Bonds is a joke.

March 22, 200519 yr comment_456656 I too have no sympathy for Bonds. Hopefully Aaron's record remains in place. Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/26337-the-official-mays24bonds25-suicide-watch-thread/?&do=findComment&comment=456656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 22, 200519 yr comment_456657 Bonds will never play again..... Im sure racism had something to do with this...

March 22, 200519 yr comment_456658 You know, for some reason I'm not too bothered by this. I think the Giants have a complete team, and they'll be able to compete without him. Although, I really think Bonds was just talking out of frustration. Every player going through rehab goes through a certain point where they wonder if it's all worth it and if they'll ever feel healthy again. It's perfectly normal. Having said that, Pedro Feliz is due for a breakout year. I say start him in LF and leave him there until Bonds comes back, IF Bonds comes back. I honestly believe a confident and steady Feliz will put up huge numbers. A lineup of Durham, Vizquel, Snow, Alou, Feliz, Alfonzo, Grissom, and Matheny is still damn good... On top of that, our pitching should be phenomenal with Matheny leading them. Time to show the rest of the world that the San Francisco Giants are more than Barry Bonds. They are 25 men, not one. I'm still excited as hell about this season !!!

March 22, 200519 yr comment_456659 wasnt feliz given the third base job a couple years ago and failed miserably?  has he finally 'learned' to hit big league pitching on a consistent basis over the past two years as a bench player?

March 22, 200519 yr comment_456660 wasnt feliz given the third base job a couple years ago and failed miserably?  has he finally 'learned' to hit big league pitching on a consistent basis over the past two years as a bench player? 718052[/snapback] No, he wasn't given the job... You might be thinking of Russ Davis years back... Feliz has never had a chance to start every day. In 2002, we had David Bell. After that, we got Edgardo Alfonzo. Feliz put up solid numbers last season (.276 BA, 22HR, and 84 RBI). He got a lot of at bats rotating around 1b, 3b, SS, and some OF. He's also having a tremendous spring... I definitely think he's ready to play every day.

March 22, 200519 yr comment_456661 The giants are still solid enough. Of course they shouldnt be counted out they have JT Snow, who is way better than msot other first baseman in the league included Delgado (based on OPS i believe), according to mays24bonds25 .

March 23, 200519 yr comment_456662 Bonds is such a bitch. He's trying to make people feel bad for him. Blaming the media for his health problems. He was even using his own son to try and get sympathy. Total bulls***.

March 23, 200519 yr comment_456663 So how long is Bonds out for? Some say a few months, some say forever. Will he be back before the Giants are in town in mid-August?

However, Alfonzo is a 2nd half player, Matheny is rather average on offense, and Durham, Vizquel, and Grissom are on their last legs. I agree with the fact that the pitching will be solid, and Schmidt should have a career year. However, they seem to be missing that one star or slugger (depending on whether or not Feliz breaks out as you said) who drives pitchers crazy and intimidates them. I think that they can win the division, considering they're in the NL West. I'm not sure if they'd succeed in the playoffs, however. Just my 2 cents...

March 24, 200519 yr comment_456670 The Giants made the mitake of having a team that is elderly. I doubt this is their last costly injury. 719121[/snapback]Â But they have the depth to give the old guys time off when needed... Guys like Pedro Feliz, Jason Ellison, Tony Torcato, Yorvit Torrealba, Deivi Cruz... They have a good bench, and the pitching staff is not old... They'll be fine. Â I really hope the rest of the NL West is thinking like you guys are... If they take it easy against the Giants, you'll see them runaway with the division.
