    Barry Bonds

    He seems to be a great addition to the Marlins. Don't give a shit about all the steroids crap that guy was as pure a hitter as they come. Will be a manager soon IMO. Your thoughts?

    The man could hit. The Power numbers late in his career were obviously from PEDs. Given that, he was a very smart hitter and I would not be surprised if he was a good hitting coach. Manager? nope.

    This could go on forever....

    *He is going to be a great Manager "He is definitely a players coach"
    *He belongs in the hall of fame. He would have gotten to 600 without it.

    Just because you were a great hitter doesn't necessarily mean that it will translate to you being a great manager. Ted Williams was arguably the greatest hitter of all time, but did terrible as a skipper.

    Going to be and is are two different scenarios. I'm right about 30% of the time so you've got a chance on him being terrible.

    How many fukking threads are we going to have about the debate do steroids help a HITTER?

    YES THEY DO!!!!

    1. Gives you additional strength.

    2. Gives you superior timing... because of this strength.

    3. Gives you superior confidence.

    Take the roids away.... fukking guy couldn't hit 50 home runs in a season.

    All these motha fukkers were on roids.... Bonds, Palmeiro, Mcgwire, Sosa, Canseco, Bagwell, Rodriguez, Clemens, Kevin Brown, Broxton, Eric Gagne. I could go on fukking forever. Half the entire league was on the sh#$.

    Barry Bonds soaks up the love in return to S.F., but puts Marlins first

    Barry Bonds arrived at AT&T Park on Friday and went right to the batting cage. The visitors’ batting cage. Then he went to the dugout, sat down and answered questions from a swarm of reporters. The visitors’ dugout. Then it was off to the clubhouse.
    Oh, the AT&T Park clubhouse. The stories it could tell about Barry Bonds. Well, not this one. He was across the stadium. You know, with the visitors.

    Bonds has done a lot of things at AT&T Park in his life — including hitting 160 homers; 35 of which splashed into McCovey Cove — but he’d never done any of this. He was, for the first time, wearing the opposing team’s uniform.

    Best player I ever saw.

    Baseball got pretty boring once he retired.

    Baseball needs a villain.

    you are so far off the range it is not funny. how about the greenies that were taken in the 70's. SPEED. !!!! roids can't make you hit a curve ball!if you remember baseball was about dead until sammy-mcguire home run contest! I can tell you couple of stories about what an asshole he was.(best friends kid has worked in reds clubhouse for last12 years. he was finalist to take over the pirates clubhouse 5 yrs ago).yes it allowed marginal players to be better. danny graves for one but 70 % were cheating just like they were cheating in the 70's
