He'll probably still be very productive (especially in a DH role) and help put people in the stands/create a national buzz before the season, but that tornado surrounding him...

[Soul]

That would be a weird sight. Barry in a Rays uni.

 

They can't delay the trial for an entire baseball season, can they? At some point he's got to go back to SF and face his accusers. No chance in hell that judge dismisses the case, they've got him dead to rights.

[Banedon]

So he's going for that WS ring before he retires, eh?

[Derwood]

bringing in 40 year old veterans has worked so well for the Rays in the past. Remember the triumphant playoff runs headed by Boggs and Canseco?

[Schwarber Fan]

Why not? They've already signed Cliff Floyd and Mike DiFelice.

Why not? They've already signed Cliff Floyd and Mike DiFelice.

 

Ya, they could dig up Hank Greenberg too and have Crawford and Baldelli carry him around like Weekend at Bernies.

[Soul]

They should sign him. You'd see the Rays on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball for the first time in forever, and it would be comical.

When did Tampa get an MLB baseball team? I thought they were some traveling sideshow like the circus or Globetrotters and owned by some Elk club.

[Roast]

It would be beautiful to see Bonds on the Rays.

[rocket]

it'd quite possibly put the devil rays in 3rd place!

They might be able to do that even without him. The O's are rebuilding and the Jays are an enigma.

more like the Washington Generals

Assuming he signed with the Rays, hits at least one more HR (to break/extend his own record) and then gets his 3,000th hit..........................

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HE'S GOTTA GO INTO THE HALL AS A RAY!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Yanksfan1523]

All Jokes aside, IF Bonds were to go there for @8 million he is worth every penny. He is 65 hits away from 3000, and is adding to his own HR record. People would go to see him. I think more people would go to boo him, but they still would be paying to get in. As Lawrence Fishbourne said, "The money don't know where it came from!"

 

It is not like he has a lot of choices.

I just think it would be amusing. Probably for about 10 minutes, but 10 minutes of amusement is better than no minutes of amusement. :grin:

[Mephistopheles]

im surprised the Ms aren't interested. if they got him they'd be one of the top five teams in the game

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I just want to see Barry play some more because it would piss a lot of people off.

[Post Count Padder]

It would be a good place for him to play because there would be no fans to boo him.

[Derwood]

rotoworld saying he might go play in Japan

[Bull]

it'd quite possibly put the devil rays in 3rd place!

 

no more devil...just the Rays now...like Sun Rays

Nah... That wouldn't work. Baldelli would probably pull a hamstring trying to lug the body around.

Boy, wouldn't that be the perverbial needle in his ego.

[photoguy9883]

To play or to flee the country?

[rawaction]

I'd love to see him play for Tampa. It can only help the team and franchise.

[Roast]

I REALLY hope he goes to japan. Like, really really bad.
