That would be a dumb gamble. Dont the Cubs have enough injury prone players already? Bonds may hit the HR when he is healthy, but he is a liability in the field. I rather have Murton than Bonds at this point. Actually, it would be a nice gamble. With Murton cheap and in the fold, the Cubs would have the perfect player to use when Bonds needed to miss time. Bonds while only playing 130 games, still managed to post a 270/454/545 line. Do you wanna guess how many Cubs had an OBP over 400? Let me help you. It's not a long list. Would you like to know how long it's been since Bonds had an OBP below 400? You have to go all the way back to 1999 before you find that. Bonds may not be likeable, but he's still a great hitter. He's not the hitter he was two or three or even four years ago, but he's still productive. There's not too many players available that can provide a 900-1000 OPS. Bonds is one of those. His defense isn't great, but neither was Moises Alou's and we lived with him for a few seasons. I wouldn't break the bank for Bonds, but if I could get him for under 10 mil, he'd be a great gamble. Probably the best on the market. That would be really classic; Barry Bonds ending his career with the CUBS. Just like his old man, eh?
