text: detroit tiger fans? i have read that the tigers will need more left handed hitters next year and that barry bonds would be a great fit, because he's patient and him and jim leyland go way back , plus he would put more asses in the seats. he's not my favorite player, but i can't understand why anyone wouldn't want barry bonds on their team.  even playing with the effects of injury last season (and possibly the loss of steroids), he still hit 26 homers and had a better on-base percentage than any current tigers player.  calling him a loser because he's never won a world series makes no sense, either.  when the giants made it there in 2002, bonds hit .471 with 4 homers and an amazing .700 obp, so he's hardly to blame for not winning a title.  if anything, he should be given credit for turning some poor giants teams into competitive outfits over the past couple of seasons.  and as for being a poor teammate, it's not like his surliness should hurt anyone.  sure, he might be a jerk, but baseball is also the least "team" among team sports, since 90% of the game is the duel between pitcher and hitter.  you don't have to like bonds, but to dismiss him is just nonsense.  i'd love to have him on my team because he'd give them a better chance to win, and that's what the game is all about.
