Yeah but we have Guillen starting at 1st base now. And Maybin/Granderson/Magglio are our best options for outfielders. Sheff is a decent outfielder. But Sheffield himself has said DH is right where he needs to be. The dude is getting up there in age. I doubt we're gonna put him in the outfield, running all over the place. Sheffield in the outfield is a downgrade to any of our current outfielders. Which is why Sheffield is our DH. And that's where he will remain, until he signs elsewhere, or retires. Hense, Bonds would have no place on this team. Bonds will never don the old english D. Ever.

Sheff played quite a few years at SS....maybe Bonds is the only FA we need to sign?

Oh and BTW...he may not be the fielder he once was...but Bonds has 8 gold gloves. Bonds was about 60th in fielding percentage among outfielders with 80 or more starts...so that would make him a top-three outfielder on most teams for his defense alone.

I think the majority of us don't want Barry Bonds here because we don't like him.

I don't think anyone denies Barry as a player... but he's such an easy to guy to hate. That, in my opinion, is why most people don't want him here. Myself included.

Leyland shot down the rumors anyways, so there's nothing more to discuss.
