bonds worst ever?

in LF? That was brutal.

hmm, find commonality . ..

[Neuby]

Zuleta, Hundley were pretty bad in left field but Canseco might have been the worst.

[soccer10k]

Bonds is bad now. But Canseco was worse for a longer period of time.

Adam Dunn?

Adam Dunn?

 

Dunn is bad, but I have seen a lot worse.

[WindyCity]

in LF? That was brutal.

 

He may not have the legs any more to play the outfield well, but the man still has 8 GGs on the shelf -- hardly the worst ever in LF.

-A coat rack with a Cubs hat and glove on it would cover more ground than Glenallen Hill.

 

-Grampa Moises had some horrifically awful days.

 

-Todd Walker, despite only playing there for like an inning.

Adam Dunn?

 

Adam Dunn would have been able to stop on the play Bonds went into the stands on. Adam Dunn would have also at least gotten to the ball on Bynum's triple. He may not have caught the ball, but he probably would have got a glove on it. Bonds basically gave the Cubs those 2 runs. I guarantee he is going to cost the Giants a couple games this year and I'm going to enjoy it. He runs about as well as my grandpa does.

Agreed. Alot of people forget that Bonds was a "great defensive" player in his prime. People focus on his offensive talents, but few people do know that Bonds is NOT the worst LFer---currently, but his career---in MLB history.

 

I'd have to go with Hundley. He made routine plays, look absolutely hard. Jim Belushi could have played a better the LF then Hundley.

Until Bonds played the race card...

 

 

get it? race? card? Bueller?

[TB_11]

Manny Ramirez in a normal-sized LF is pretty bad.

We got it, just wasn't funny. :wink:

[LoneStarCubFan]

Anybody else old enough to remember Cliff Johnson in left field at Wrigley? It was only three games but it was high comedy.

 

End. Of. Thread.

I'm talking about now obviously. His gold gloves don't help me pick the ball off the ground - which seems to be a big chore for barry these days.

[Omar]

I have no idea why he would want to come back in 2007... Especially in the national league. Sure he's won gold gloves... But he is as defense worthy as Frank Thomas.

 

Moises Alou - Never really was fond of his fielding. He even made some friends out there.

 

Freddy Bynum - Cant catch a routine fly ball... That's exactly what the Cubs needed in the losing streak. An OF drop a routine ball.

[OleMissCub]

Phil Nevin looked pretty stupid out there.

Just watched Barry Bonds shame himself in front of some former stars like Wille Mays, McCovey, Cepada, etc. trying to hit a HR. Those guys did it the old fashioned way, they earned it! They aren't as easy to hit out when you don't have the "juice" like Bonds did! (He would of had atleast 4 or 5 more if he was on it.)

 

It sure would be great if he could get shut out the next two days and have to hit his HR in Houston without all the fanfare. It makes no sense that people want to celebrate a cheater! I was born in SF and lived there in the 60's and 70's. I used to love the city, but the people have sunk to a new low cheering for Bonds! I am glad I don't live there anymore. :cry:

Meanwhile, his average is down to .231. :twisted:

Meanwhile, his average is down to .231. :twisted:

And yet idiotic pitchers and managers continue to walk him. :roll:

But those same idiotic pitchers and managers are still pitching to Pujols.

INteresting tidbit from last night:

 

Even the most myopic Bonds devotees will have trouble defending him here. You are taught to run out pop-ups and ground balls for a reason: Fielders are fallible, and in this instance, Jeff Kent, Bonds' former teammate and nemesis, dropped a routine pop.

 

Bonds, of course, did not realize this because his back was turned. It was the eighth inning, in his third at-bat of the night, and Bonds was facing a journeyman named Joe Beimel. Bonds lifted a fly ball at Kent and took exactly eight steps down the line before pirouetting toward San Francisco's dugout. Not until someone yelled at Bonds did he start running again, and Los Angeles shortstop Rafael Furcal barely missed turning a double play after he'd received the throw from Kent for a force out.

 

On the field, Bonds was seen asking about the infield-fly rule. Boy, that's fresh. A ballplayer in his 21st year who doesn't know the infield-fly rule.

 

More Barry being Barry
