Do you know what the word integrity means? Any team that would support this cheater or offers him a job for the sake of a possible championship run deserves to lose all it's games. Bonds should be pondering the possibility of doing his own jail time instead of letting Greg Anderson do it for him. Yes, Barry Bonds is dangerous, he's dangerous to the future of baseball and should be thrown out.

I live in the San Fran Bay Area and I'm a life-long Giants fan, and I love Barry besides all his faults, but seriously he's not the most dangerous hitter in the league. Two years ago, sure. But now Pujols or Howard or Manny or Ortiz are far ahead of him. He is still quite formidable, and managers will walk rather than get scorched, and any manager would kill to get a guy with his OBP, and that's why it's great if he'll stay with the Giants for one more year, but there's no way he'll hit homers at the pace of Pujols or Howard this year (no matter how promising the end of this season seemed).

HELL NO. I agree with "its all good." Bonds is a disgrace to the word baseball alltogether. Taking an illegal drug for performance enhancing aka Steroids! Him, Barry Bonds, and Mark McGuire should have their stats erased off the board once and for all. No asterisk! I wouldn't even go near him if I was a GM of the Yankees. That is why so many teams don't want him. His only choices are to retire, take a LOOOOONG break from baseball, go to Japan, or resign with the Giants, because no team is going to take Mr. Steroid.

I'm not sure what your definition of "dangerous" is: in '06, if he'd had enough plate appearances to qualify, Bonds would have been 13th in the National League in slugging average, 23rd in home runs, and around 58th in batting average. He would have led the league in on-base percentage, but if I had to pick one statistic to define the "most dangerous hitter" in the league, I would not pick OBP.
That aside - as a Pirates fan, I wouldn't want him on the team. He was a conceited jerk who pissed off his teammates when he was a Pirate 15 years ago, and nothing I've read since then indicates a change of character for the better.

No, I wouldn't want him on my team. If you're still watching baseball past 12, there may be a problem. In 500 years they are going to laugh at our society just like we laugh at them in some instances from 500 years ago. This is still an archaic society, full of idiots that watching millionaires hit, chase or throw balls.... and these sports figures hate you people....do you really not understand this?? I was a jock and still am an athlete, but I will never get over how anyone cares about anything along these lines. It's the same thing each and every week....one team wins, one loses....and it doesn't matter... someone is going to wear a helmet, someone is going to get fined, someone is going to run into someone else and someone is going to win or lose. Who cares, fulfill your own life instead of millionaire, old white guys hiring predominately black, millionaire guys to run around and chase balls. Wake up.

Well my team is the Boston Red Sox who have Ortiz and Manny. Both of which are EASILY more dangerous than Bonds.
And I could name countless more who are. (if you want to stick in the NL - Cabrera, Pujols, Howard...)
I don't want him on my team, he is not that dangerous.
I have no idea why people walk him so much anymore, sure 3-4 years back, but hes not that guy anymore. If you are going to give him a free pass, might as well make it a career ending hit by pitch to those weak knees of his.

Are you serious he is not even in the top 5 any more. And no I don't want him on my team bad thing is I just heard a rumor on espn that larussa was overheard, by a newpaper reporter, talking to barrys agent and said he want to meet with his client, his agent was asked by the reporter if the cards were the team that they had a meeting with earlier in the day. He would neither confirm nor deny.

I think if my team was in the AL, I'd pick him -- and place him in DH position. And he's still good for a few HR's and hits, plus bunch of intentional walks. Those walks alone should help the team...
(But not for the millions of dollars, he's getting right now though. If so, I'd pass...)
