Would YOU sign such a player? I wouldn't. Its too big a chance on him not being there for when you need him. <BR/><BR/>If any team does sign him, which unfortunately I think there will be, it will most likely be AL, not NL. I would suspect the Angels might go after him for additional batting power with Vlad. <BR/><BR/>The only remote thought of the Yankees signing him, and I hope and pray they don't even think of it, is if A-Rod opts out and goes elsewhere. Then the Yankees might think of bringing him in because of the loss. With Giambi as DH, the need isn't there. Bonds is not liked. He wouldn't be welcomed in Yankee Stadium, and he is a liability in terms of losing fans over any (if there is such a thing) gains he brings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-513325487075898129.post-10823722058527358702007-09-24T07:46:00.000-04:002007-09-24T07:46:00.000-04:00I agree - I think the Giants have managed to come ...I agree - I think the Giants have managed to come out a loser in this, I guess you can call it a passion play of sorts.
