Not likely to happen
But we should sign Barry to a minor league deal. See if he can still play (he prolly can and needs a month or so to get in shape) and deflate the Dodgers return of Manny. We won't have to trade prospects. His defense will be bad but it will be more than made up for with his bat. Yeah yeah...let it go. But really, he IS the best bat available. Right now we have a pretty good shot at the WC. With Barry we are the favorites. It may cause a media circus but I think it is worth the gamble. Also it will boost attendance across the board which will add more excitement. Wishful thinking? Probably. Worth doing? Definitely. Cons: defense, media. Anything else? He's still faster than Bengie, I'm sure. Also, his time away may have mellowed him a bit. If RJ can play at 45, so can Barry.

It would be fun to have him as a pinch hitter
But that ship has sailed

I can't stop thinking about Barry Bonds
Yeah, it would be sweet to watch him play 1 or 2 games a series, or even just as a PH. It may even be the smart thing to do. But there is no way on God’s Green Earth that management will swallow their pride and bring him back.

Yeah lets sign the guy who hasn’t hit major league pitching in a few years and who had hip surgery last year. Great sign. Lets sign a near 80 year old Willie Mays too.

This would not work for many reasons
Not only because hes OLD and hasnt played for 2 seasons, but take into consideration how this would effect the clubhouse. Because I know managment would.
How would bringing bonds in effect Lincecum and how comfortable him and some of the young guys feel in the locker room. Or Molina who wants to win for then anything, while Bonds refuses to pinch hit on an off day. Or Randy Johnson… that would be interesting, but im not sure good.

Now, I love Barry, but this is no good. He’s done. I think Barry needs to enter the next phase of his life and become that retired gentleman who makes speeches about beating the Dodgers and rah-rah and all that shit and get a statue and his number retired and just enjoy life in the comforting bosom (tee hee) of his hometown fans.

Yeah, that ship has sailed
It makes me sad that Bud Selig got his wish that Bonds never play again.
