Kuip on KNBR this morning

On his regular spot on KNBR, Kuip was asked about the chances of Bonds coming back given how well he's doing and how much closer he's getting to Aaron.  He said that he hasn't spoken to Sabean or Magowan, but he I think he obviously has a pretty good feel for the situation being so close to the organization.

He said he thinks if Bonds comes back next year, it'll be on the team's terms.  Murph said, "So the days of $20 million salaries are over?" and Kuip said he's be surprised if he gets half that. He said Barry can be stubborn and it won't be about the money, but about how much he thinks he deserves from the team after what he's done for them.  

He also addressed Felipe's situation and said he admired Alou for downplaying the fact that he's in limbo and not letting it become a distraction, especially since it would probably upset Moises if it became a big deal.  Kuip said it might very well be that Felipe is rewarded with some sort of senior consultant role.

Today's comments match a lot of the astute speculation that goes on here.  (Now I need to see if I can recommend my own post!)
