BTW lol at people not wanting Bonds on your team in that poll. I guess you don't want your team to win or you are a Red Sox fan (note this isn't a shot at Red Sox fan, but Ortiz/Manny/Bonds platoon,at LF/1B/DH) probably wouldn't work that well)

The question wasn't if the fans wanted their team to win.

Is it so unfathomable that maybe fans don't want a walking [censored] storm around their team everyday.

I think it's ridiculous that fans don't want there teams to optimize winning.

1) Ridiculously expensive.

2) Injury prone. Like it or not, he's 43 and has has bad knees.

3) Defensive liability. Paying that much for a guy who you might get one, MAYBE two years out of to pretty much ONLY be a Designated Hitter doesn't make much sense.

You can win without Barry Bonds, as evidenced by the fact that he's never won a World Series ring. I don't think signing Bonds "optimizes winning" for every team, maybe no more than a few.
