November 30, 201510 yr Well, so the plot thickens..... http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-heyman/25395692/barry-bonds-is-under-consideration-to-be-a-marlins-hitting-coach
November 30, 201510 yr Marlins "How-to" on making Marleens baseballers do baseball better: Step 1: Hire Bonds. Step 2: Hand out Steroids like candy. Step 3: Get caught and become a bigger laughing stock. Step 4: International. Marlins. Cool.
November 30, 201510 yr Assistant? Idk how Barry will be as an assistant lol. Isn't he supposed to have an ego the size of his (post steroids) head?
November 30, 201510 yr Assistant? Idk how Barry will be as an assistant lol. Isn't he supposed to have an ego the size of his (post steroids) head? Yeah but he also has zero coaching experience, little choice if he wants back in the game
November 30, 201510 yr There will be steroid jokes tied in with regular Marlins hate jokes but steroids or not its not like bonds couldn't hit a baseball. It'd be a serious publicity move for better or worse but it'd put eyes on the team just like Ichiro and Mattingly do and that's not a bad thing. My first question is, how would the players respond to this? If they'd be accepting of him I'd see no reason to not get it done. So I say yes. Do it.
November 30, 201510 yr Yeah but he also has zero coaching experience, little choice if he wants back in the game He's been an unofficial assistant hitting coach to the giants for the last two ,three season same as Will Clark
November 30, 201510 yr Lenny Harris is still third base coach right? We'd probably get some kind of award for having both Harris and Bonds in uniform. There's just too much cool there.

December 1, 201510 yr Surprised they were able to keep this one under wraps for as long as they did. Yep, it was a VERY closely kept secret apparently.
December 1, 201510 yr Has anyone heard anything specific about Nieves' approach? A google search doesn't really come up with much - just that he was the Red Sox pitching coach and was fired recently.
