How many future HR's for Bonds?

Bonds is still one of the top players in baseball and apparently has no intention of stopping any time soon. Next year's for sure and the year after wouldn't be a bad bet either. My feeling is that he's good for about 100 more dingers and will move out of A-Rod's reach.



Well, Bonds is tied for 13th in HR in all of baseball, but he's not even in the top 50 in RBI, in fact he's not even in the top 50 in the NL. His .278 batting average doesn't rank in the top 50 in MLB, but it is good for 41st in the NL.
You would think he would have a high run total with all his walks, but that's not true either, he doesn't rank in the top 50 in MLB in runs, but he is tied for 30th in the NL.
Those stats are to show that he is done. He has bad knees, he can't run, he can't play the field, and his arm is below average now. So if he's going to be a good hitter somewhere else, it needs to be an AL team that needs a DH.

Bond's on-base percentage is 495, which is one of the best in baseball and pretty much par for him. I don't think he's slowed down with the bat at all. I can't see him quitting until he's at least begun to slip. He hit another homer today, which gives him 24, in spite of the favorite way to take him on these days is still to walk him.

Well, remember "Hack a Shaq"? People would foul him cause he couldn't / can't hit his free throws...well, "Bean a Bonds". Put his giant head on base, cause he doesn't score as my stats show. He is useless on the paths now.

Personally, I don't think there should be an asterisk put next to his name in the record book because of the era and the fact that it's never been publicly proven that he's actually taken any performance enhancers.

Why do people keep saying this? Bonds admitted to the grand jury that he took "the clear" which is a steroid. He just said he didn't realize that it was a performance enhancing drug, he thought it was flaxseed oil.
So yes, it has been proven, it just hasn't been "proven" that he did it on purpose. (but we all know he did, and it will be proven that he did eventually.)

ok, lets say bonds admittingly took steroids. they were not against the rules that baseball had in place. so why all the outrage? do you think he was the only one? so, just because he is setting records, he is the one that gets penalized. what about roger clemens? there were NO rules in place to penalized ANYONE from that time frame. the owners and the players did what they had to do, to make baseball popular again. now they are paying the price

i cant believe I'm actually defending Bonds. i personally think he is a piece of shit. but i also think that Pete Rose deserves to be in the hall. to me, the voters are a joke. i want people that go into the hall because of what they accomplish on the field. period. the last time i checked, Ty Cobb is still in

id like to see him hit around 900-1000 homers. i think that would be good for baseball.

You forget to mention that Bonds has nobody hitting in front of him to drive him in and nobody in front of him to get on base. Neither is his fault or a reflection on his play.

You might also mention that he has five stolen bases and has only 271 at bats, which means that his 24 HRS means he hits one about every eleven at bats. Also, his 56 RBIs mean he gets one about ever five at bats in spite of the fact that the Giants are famous for not putting a man on base ahead of him and the fact that the opposition usually walks him when men are on base.

Projected to 542 at bats, which most batters expect over a year, Bonds comes in with 48 dingers and 112 RBIs, Hall of Fame numbers.

The Shaq analogy doesn't hold. Shaq misses his free throws, Bonds scores from second. Nobody walks him because they think he can't score if put on base. They walk him because he's too dangerous to pitch to and because the batters batting behind him are much less productive than he is.

really it doesnt matter because A-Rod will smash his number by far.
