Should the Sox sign Bonds?

Collusion?

Yes I am' date=' but I am not a fan that expects my favorite team to win every season, I would like them too but to think that is kind of foolish, this isn't playstation, winning it all is not easy. Teams have off years. If the Sox win every couple years, then I have no problem with an off year. Would you have taken that before 2004? Waiting all that time, a team that wins every couple years with an off year in between somewhere, sounds pretty damn good.[/quote']

 

This isn't like the team is trying to rebuild this year. They're on the cusp of another championship run. Adding Bonds for 350K has little risk. He could totally s*** the bed, but his upside is out of this world. We add a bat like this, to our already potent lineup, we're the instant championship favorites.

 

Yes the Team does have aging stars, but they also have a FO and ownership that has shown they will go out and spend money. When Papi is gone, it's not like the Sox will never have another top player.

 

Do you have the ability to compare? Adding Barry Bonds to a five year deal would be stupid, but he's only with the Red Sox until October. There is close to no risk.

 

 

 

 

If the Yankees where considering this move, most Sox fans would be killing them for itand calling it a last ditch effort of a desperate team. Don't kid yourself, Bonds hasn't played in alomost a year, he would be changing leagues, I know he had a decent year last year, but as it was said previously, this ship has sailed. If the Sox make this move, they are grasping at straws. But the Sox have the final say, all I can do is give my opinion.

 

They are grasping at straws? They're adding the BEST HITTER IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME (save for Ruth)

Kilo's right though, it's almost September, it's not going to happen.

Shut the f*** up you would blow a load on your small ass 51" tv to the picture of Bonds in pinstripes.

 

Than you would lick said load off of the tv screen everytime it touched someone other than bonds.

 

P.S. I voted yes because that is the only way I could possibly hate bonds more than I already do.

Oooooookay sick fantasies aside...

 

As much as I would dislike Bonds in a Red Sox uniform, if he were to be in shape, and hitting well... I don't see how he really could hurt the line up.

By this logic, the Sox might as well sign Clemens too for the stretch run...

 

 

If the Sox have to rest their hopes of another Championship run on the shoulders of a malcontent such as Barry Bonds, then I can't see them making it past LAA or TB. The Sox lineup isn't too bad as it is right now, if anything they need pitching help.

 

Besides if Beckett isn't around and someone doesn't step up big in the BP for the stretch run, this team has very little hope of going anywhere deep into the playoffs.

 

Please don't take this as a sign of me giving up on my team. It's not. When your not right there in the middle of it all, it's easier to step back and seperate some of the emotion and look at it threw clearer eyes. If some of you had this oppurtunity, you would see trying to bring in Bonds is a very desperate move, theres a reason no one has signed him, and the Sox being the creme of the crop at the moment in the league, do not and should not make this move.

 

I understand why some want this. You think it could propel the Sox to another Championship, I see it as a black mark on the resume of an organization that has done spectacular things since they have been in place.

 

The Sox got rid of Manny while producing because of the Distraction he was. Why would you bring in someone thats going to be that big of a negative distraction? Tito finally sleeps better at night and you want to throw Bonds at him? Have mercy on the poor guy:lol:

 

I guess what i'm saying is you have to not look at this threw fans eyes. This FO has shown they will do what they want, even if the FANS don't agree. Thats why there FO people and not sitting in the stands. I think the FO might have kicked around the idea, but I believe they know that Barry doesn't put them past LAA or TB, and he will probably cause more grief then anything.

 

This is my opinion tho, and everyone is welcome to theres, if they sign him its not like I won't be a Sox fan anymore or anything like that.

The Bonds idea has come and gone. We arent talking about a 25 yr old in peak physical condition who is working out day in and day out for a comeback. We are talking about a 45 yr old who can barely move and requires DH duties because of his gimpy knees. The move makes no sense for the sox, none.

Don't laugh. I saw him shopping for a bunch of household s*** on Friday up here in Dedham. Then my friend saw him eating dinner at Abe & Louie's. I wonder what the f*** he's doing up here, lol.

 

Considering he has no reason to be up here... though I do think he's up here for reasons other than the Sox. I just found it funny you should mention Clemens.

[Mr Crunchy]

bonds hits baseballs

he hasnt been in peak physical condition in 10 yrs

with the lefty bats or lack there of in our lineup i dont see how this is a heavy risk
