Barry Bonds

I'm not sure exactly what to write about at 10:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, so why not mention Barry Bonds? I'm pretty sure no team is going to sign Bonds even though he'd still contribute way more than an average player. Teams sign platoon bats to play some OF and DH all the time. The Rays got Eric Hinske and Cliff Floyd just for their lefty bat. Adam Dunn gets traded at the deadline and he can barely play any position better than Barry can. Frank Thomas got a multiyear deal from the Blue Jays and he can't even play a position. With that said I'm not too sold on all the teams colluding against Bonds, at least nothing too formal with all of the teams making sure they wouldn't sign him. I think it was one of those things that was understood without talking by all of the owners, don't sign Barry Lamar Bonds. If a team gets Bonds they will suffer a lot of hack for signing a felon bla bla bla, so they would either have to be a good team that'll help them win where winning heals all, or a horrible team in such shambles that Bonds couldn't hurt them. If you're going to take some flack for getting Bonds you might as well talk to Mr. Clemens and see if he'd want to come back too, maybe as a closer. Go for the Gold with some real speculated steroid using doodie brains (that can still contribute). A team like the Marlins that just traded Josh Willingham has a little hold in left field, and with pathetic attendance, signing Barry couldn't really hurt people going to the game, in fact I'd argue it would help. Bonds would also help a team like the Yankees or Mets that will sell seats and make money regardless of Bonds, and being that Bonds is better than say Ryan Church, or Hideki Matsui he'd help them win. Bonds is going nowhere but to court and it's easy for me to say now that I'd want him on my team, but when it would get to be that time to sign him I'd probably get nervous and say no, just like every other team has.
