| The reason I created this thread was not because of what he can do in the field. Quite honestly, he's been horrible in the field for the last few years and is only getting worse.
The point of the thread is that people jump to conclusions way too often in the media as well as the regular sports fans and we don't let anything play out anymore.. I made the thread because of all the "warning track power" taunts the man has received the last few weeks.
People are pointing to the new drug policy, that Bonds isn't on steroids, so now he can't hit. To me, it's laughable. Of course the man can still hit. I don't know much about the history of his aledged steroid use, I didn't read the book nor will I.. but I do know that he has always been a great hitter steroids or not, one of the best ever and yesterday he proved it once again. You can't hit a more clutch home run then he did yesterday.
I agree he's a huge liability in the field, but just imagine if he finished his career in the AL and hit DH.. He'd still be more valuable at 41-years old then any hitter in the league outside or Pujols and a couple others. |
