Around SBN: The Ten Worst Swings Of The 2011 Season

"The NL West looks relatively wide open entering 2009. The Dodgers signed Manny Ramirez to solidify the middle of their batting order Wednesday. The Giants have a decent lineup, but lack a power presence in the middle. Barry Bonds still wants to play baseball, and considering how little interest he's netted the past two years, he'd probably sign a relatively cheap contract.

Considering all the above factors, and also considering how beloved Bonds was in San Francisco despite his many shortcomings as a man, the Giants should sign him to bat in the middle of their order this season. There, I said it."

The Giants would have to first do something about clearing the logjam that is the outfield.

Secondly, I really don’t know the condition BLB is in. But one thing I do know is he’ll be 45. I guess being that old only works for 7 foot pitchers.

it won't happen

 but he could be valuable as a part time player/ pinch hitter.

Baseball is a lot like life. The line drives are caught, the squibbles go for base hits. It's an unfair game. -Rod Kanehl

No fucking way Giants should sign him.

If BLB had ever shown an interest in learning to play 1B…

But can he play third?

Am I the only one who would pay to see him try?

by cheno on Mar 7, 2009 9:37 PM PST up reply actions  

I would like to see him picked up as a DH in the AL, I still think he could crack 20-30 HRs a season. If he has been taking care of himself.

Just get him a funny glove… how hard could it be.

He’s BLB for BALCO’s sake!
