I wonder with all this talk about Manny Ramirez and Jayson Bay being the two best LF's in the market why Barry Bonds name hasn't even surfaced.

 

Face it, most teams can't or won't part with the pieces nessisary to get a deal done, but they also refuse to open the door to sign Barry for the ML minimum of 360k.

 

Really puts into persective the claims by Barry's Agent that collusion is keeping him out of the game.

 

With it being said it will take a week for him to get re acclimated to MLB pitching, i can't understand why someone will sell some of their future MLB starters for a rental, Marlins included.

 

Bring in Bonds for 360k. Better then giving up a Hermida or Tucker for 2 months of Manny. (Although I want a deal for Manny to go through).

 

Basically- this market is proving Bonds is A)Blacklisted B) Being colluded against C) Can't shake his past even with his guarenteed production.

 

Shame he won't get a chance to prove the Juice wasn't everything, much like Giambi has.

Barry Bonds is a world-class asshole, and I would rather eat sh*t than see him in a Marlins uniform.

 

He doesn't deserve any sort of second chance, and I'm glad no one will have him in the MLB.

Im going to have to agree...eh... somewhere around...

 

90%... id see Bonds in a Marlins uni before Id eat sh*t

He's old, he can't actually play LF anymore, he's a one man circus, and he's a world renowned cheater.

 

That's why.

He'd still put up at least a .750 OPS and if you contractually obligate him to keep his mouth shut* (if he wants to play badly enough, he'll ok that) you'd wonder why an AL team hasn't picked him up

 

*Anything regarding his off-field stuff while within like 1000 feet of the team's clubhouse (home or away) or home stadium in general

It seems like every MLB franchise right now has too much self respect to sign that ass clown.

AMEN!

 

Barry will never play again he is the most hated person in baseball.

You guys are losing sight of the fact teams are willing to give up the future for players who have rental written allover them.

 

If i'm a team in contention and rebuilding (ARIZONA, FLORIDA, OAKLAND, MINNESOTA) I'm taking the gamble on him. He's cheap in terms of the future, and he's cheap on the payroll. With out clauses such as a "Shuddup or get out" clause they are in a win win situation overall.

 

With Ramirez coming in, its win now- or pay for trading Hermida and prospects in 2009 when your left with 2 single a prospects years from producing.

 

Heck, I still don't know why the Royals, Mariners, Orioles, or Pirates still havent brought him in to showcase him. You may not get much for him, but you bring him in with an understanding he's earnign his right to play for another team in contention- he should be a great pickup.

 

Your pretty much paying 380k for a prospect or two. I'm sure the Yanks or the Rays will take him if he can prove he's not a cancer or a freak show for the media.

Ugh...getting Manny doesn't destroy the future like everyone is saying.

 

And I would rather lose than win with a cheater like Bonds.

I hope everyone in the marlins organization feels this way.

I dont think People serving 5-10 can pLay in the MLB

unless they changed the rule again
