Bonds

Sorry, I am really bored and just hooked up our wireless so I can sit on the recliner in the living room.

The latest news links Bonds to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. I think Bonds would be a good fit in Tampa. They could sign him for cheap and he would improve their offense. This is a team that will be fairly competitive this year without him and could make some noise with him. By DRays consideration, noise mean over .500. It would bring some fans to the Devil Rays and be good for baseball. His troubles will be overshadowed now by Santana and the Tigers and most of the buzz around the Devil Rays should be positive.

Tampa Bay is all about those washed up hitters - Wade Boggs, Fred McGriff, and Jose Canseco. This makes sense for Bonds, he can keep playing in the US and if he keeps quiet and plays well, might end up on a good team closer to the playoffs.

Although old, Bonds is not nearly as washed up as the others you mentioned. Bonds will be more valuable to the Rays this year than he was for the Giants last year. His prescence is huge in the middle of any order as he will be pitched around and constantly be on base. Many experts are picking the D-Rays to win 81 games without Bonds this year. They could play a huge part in the winner of the AL East.
