No, Who ever is saying he still hits home runs isn't really watching baseball. He wasn't even near the top of the NL in HR last year. And he can't play the outfield at all. My team is the Reds so I wouldn't want some one on the field who can't play defense and can only play every other day. He isn't a power threat like he was when he most likely took some kind of drugs and he can't play the outfield any day and he only is able to play every other day so this guy isn't even worth the tickets he sells so people can come boo him.

Yes I would want Barry Bonds on my team, the Twins. The Twins could use a DH, and another home run hitter. I know Barry Bonds probably used steroids, but so did Shawn Merriman and everybody still wants him.

As much as I don't like him, and as much as I think the juices powered his homers, it still takes some serious hand-eye coordination and skill to put the bat on the ball like he does. I respect the man's ability.
I would not put him on my team though. I don't think he is a "people person" or a team player.

No. Even though he can still hit home-runs, he is not worth being on a team. With him cames all the steriod speculation and a bad attitude towards the fans and media.

No way, he's a walking cancer (figuratively for now). No arm, no defense, broken down legs and a terrible attitude. Plus he's going to forever have an asterisk next to his name in most people's minds if he breaks the record this year. No Way.

Yes, i would. He is still a feared hitter. He has one of the quickest swing I have ever seen. He definitely put fans in the park. No matter what they say, he has to have talent to do what he has been doing all these years.

No never have liked him or his arrogance even before the steroid issues. He is a great player no doubt but a jerk and a team distraction.

Yes. He will definitely attract more fans which equals more tickets sold! He is close to breaking Hank Aaron's homerun record and next year he'll do it!
Excellent business decision to keep him by the Giants if they decide to do so...!

Who would? The Giants, because they want him to break the record in their uniform. Case closed.
