Where will Bonds be next in 08

[ham1963]

As I sit here and watch Barry Bonds get ready to become the new HomeRun King I wonder where Barry will play next season, I feel that is will be in the American league as a DH. I don't think he will be a Yankee, RedSox, A or an Angel. I have a feeling we may see Barry in a Devil Ray uniform next season. Just a thought

Hopefully retired. I hate seeing poor Barry lash out any more. Life's gotta be rough when you expect the whole world to kiss your a$$.

He won't retire. He'll want to pile up as many homers as he can, knowing that Arod is right behind him.

Please, oh please don't let Barry's traveling medicine wagon park outside of my beloved Yankees or Nationals doorstep. Take that snake oil elsewhere!

Not in SF. Mgmt didn't want him this year except for the fact of the HR record. He only needs about 95 hits to get 3000. I'm sure he would try for that. I wouldn't be surprised if he lands as a DH somewhere in Ca, maybe Seattle.

I'm also thinking somewhere in CA - maybe the California Penal League. He will be joining teammate Greg Anderson. Isn't that the same league Ricky Vaugn played in?

If he shrinks after retirement like McGwire, Bonds must know that people will use that as proof he was on steroids/HGH when playing. I wonder if Bonds will work hard to keep his bulk (including head) even after he's retired.

Good point.

I would love to see Barry across the Bay as DH for the A's!

Okay, I know what I am going to say is going to start a huge debate and I am ready for it...and by no means am I a Bonds fan but here is what I have to say about the whole steriod issue...So if you went to GNC and you asked the guy about a muscle enhancer and he showed you a few things but told you that this one over here works the best, most likely you are going to go buy the one that works the best right?? Of course you are. In 2001 lets say Bonds did take steriods, they were not against MLB policy, so really he did nothing wrong under the MLB rules. He was just taking the best stuff out there to enhance his strength, just like anyone else would do at GNC. Yea it is against the law, but so is smoking pot and drinking and driving. When players get caught doing that, do they talk about taking away records? Of course not. I see nothing wrong with it, since it was not against MLB policy at the time. Since steriod testing has been in effect, he has not tested positive once, and I am sure he is the most tested player in the league. I know everyone is going to stay that he is cheating, but how are you going to say that is cheating but taking any other supplement is not cheating. They both enchance your strength, just that one works better then the other. Please let me know your thoughts.

Re: Where will Bonds be next in 08

The problem with your argument is that the players themselves know taking steroids is cheating.

If there was nothing wrong with taking steroids and it wasn't against the rules, then why do players refuse to admit to taking steroids back then?

Ask Harmon Killebrew if taking steroids is cheating. Ask Hank Aaron. They'll tell you if taking steroids is cheating.

Why are steriods cheating and other supplements not? They didn't have cell tech or anything else like that in their era? Again, he was just taking the best stuff available to him. Just like anyone else would do at GNC or what have you.

No one admits to it because it is against the law. If you ask a player if he smokes pot, of course he is going to say no.

It isn't like taking steriods make you hit the ball, you still have to see the ball, and react in a split second.

1. Steroids make you stronger. 2. Being stronger enables you to control the bat better and swing it harder. 3. If you are a major league batter you already have superior hand eye coordination. Hence, you already can make contact with a baseball only now that you are doing it aided by an illegal performance enhancing drug, thus, you are doing it with more ferocity 4. It is making a mockery of the record book and breaking the records held by cleaner players that has fans up in arms. 5. Smoking pot never assisted anyone in hitting more home runs.
There are 5 very good reasons why people don't like what is going on. I can come up with many more but it is past midnight, I am old and tired and I'm going to bed. GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY!!!
