Bonds: The Real San Fransisco Treat

Joe Hamrahl reports that Barry Bonds has agreed to a $16MM contract with the San Francisco Giants to patrol left field in 2007, pending a physical. This coming after San Fransisco failed to land Alfonso Soriano, Carlos Lee, Manny Ramirez, Gary Mathews Jr, and Juan Pierre this off-season.

So they get Barry Bonds as a "consolation prize"? At least he gave them a discount from the 2-years/$40MM he reportedly was looking for originally. I'm not too sure anyone is really all that surprised at this point that this is where Barry ended up. I wonder if this is actually more or less than he would have gotten if the Giants had just offered Bonds arbitration.

massacre how do you feel about Barry breakin the HR record? you know it's gonna happen. you feel it's legit? I myself, have never hated on Barry. hey if the guy took something that wasnt illegal back then, but is now, how can he be punished for it? he's passed his tests. any "evidence" saying he used is strictly from hearsay. personally I'll give the guy the benefit of the doubt until it's proven (for an absolute fact) otherwise.

Giants fan, but I agree with the bolded part.

Sign the contract already. :man2:

He was seen walking out of the ballpark with a signed contract in hand a couple of days ago, but Major League Baseball rejected it.

It's pretty certain that Bonds used some sort of steroid, especially since he admitted to accidently using the cream, but when experts in the field can bring up signs like an enlarged head and such, it's pretty clear that he used the juice. However, like said, no positive tests gives him the green light. While the HR record won't be legit in my mind, it should be in the books, and that's what matters. He also should be in the hall of fame, without a doubt.
