how did i know you were going to post this.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

But seriously, he is still one of the best left-handed hitters to ever play the game, no?

[Rome]

he was a great "hitter" until he started injecting himself with silverback gorilla hormones.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

No doubt he juiced big-time, but he was a 5-tool player before that.  Clearly, the bums aren't really getting much off of the likes of Gross and Thompson anymore, so maybe it's time to bring in some roid rage.

[smeags]

yeah but happens if the team doesn't hit and bonds gets ripped on and some people claim it's racism because greg gross didn't hear as much as bonds and thompson ?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I'm willing to take that chance.

ok, you convinced me in less than 5 posts. make it happen boy wonder !

[BigEd76]

roids makes you a great hitting coach.  Look at how awesome the Cardinals and Astros offenses were this year

[Eagles_Legendz]

I don't really have any interest in adding Bonds necessarily, but he was one of the best LFers ever in the game before he got juiced up (if people's theories on when he started juicing are correct).

Bonds, even in his youth, was barely a serviceable left fielder....after all, this is the guy who couldn't throw out an 80 year old Sid Bream in the 92 NLCS.  He was in the league for his bat and only his bat.

To be fair, 90% of left fielders have to be reminded as to which hand wears the glove and which one throws.

[Eagles_Legendz]

Actually he led the league in outfield assists from LF for 6 years in his career, is 2nd all time in assists from a LF, has 8 gold gloves, and if you want to venture into sabermetric land, he had one of the highest range factors in baseball while he was playing.  Pretty sure he was universally considered an elite defensive LF until late in his career.

just curious....how do you win 8 gold gloves in LF if you're not serviceable?
