Bonds?
The Reds have a severe offensive void in LF.Barry Bonds refuses to retire, and will reportedly sign for the league minimum. I belive thes two statements have any relevance to each other. If the reds would sign Barry Bonds you are on the verge of something big and another power bat might help push you over the top. There are about 2-3 teams in MLB where I think that move would make sense. i'm not a barry fan, but if you want this team to instantly become better, it'd be hard to argue signing him (for league minimum). he's not a long term answer, but for now? he would help give the reds a BETTER chance. The only problem with signing bonds would be because hes another lefty. I dont think the reds would want 3 lefties batting i nthe top of the linup. This would be a big killer when you get a lefty picther. we can alrleady see then when team thorw lefties we struggle big time. Its just a matter of time when we trade one of our young bucks for a big right handed hitting left fielder. Not only is left field an issuse i think the reds should ytrade for a better hitting and fieldering 3rd baseman. Bonds has been out of the game for a while and with his steroiids crap i just dont think he would be on top of his game. This is like brining back a sammy sosa. He would be a better bench player for the younger genteration then an on the field player.
