Sign Bonds
Matt Snyder makes the case for the Giants signing Barry Bonds:
The NL West looks like a relatively wide-open division 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.
I agree. The Bonds vs. Manny battles will be the greatest show since King Kong vs. Godzilla.
If the Giants signed him, I'd go to a series at AT&T and on the road and I'd get the MLB TV package. Heck, if he signed anywhere I'd go to two series and subscribe to the MLB TV package. Otherwise, they can pay their diva unadmitted PED users who aren't as good as Barry and Bud Selig and wimpy GMs without my contribution.
