I bet he could still put up an .800 OPS.

I bet he could still put up an .800 OPS.

I think he could have DH'd for at least two more seasons.

I think he could have DH'd for at least two more seasons.

Probably would've reached 800 HR.

Complete jerk off but equally as bad they he isn't in the HOF with Clemens, Joe Jackson, Palmeiro and Rose.

Sports writers are also arrogant jerks. HOF voting needs to be reformed.

Baseball will never do that unfortunately.

Nice piece by Passan.

Very quickly Gordon and the rest of the Marlins' hitters understood what Bonds' hiring meant to the team. Bonds knows what to say and when to say it – and, just as important, what not to say and when not to say it. He balances hitting mechanics and the mental vagaries of the swing with remarkable acuity. In meetings with people whose knowledge of the game and its intricacies never will approach his level, he doesn't flaunt his wisdom or belittle any lack of understanding or knowledge. It's still just three weeks into April, and there's plenty of time for things to go wrong, but Bonds has been a damn-near perfect hire.
