Mainly because Bonds will not be approached by the Jays, but if he were, I wouldn't have a problem with letting Snider mature in AAA rather than use up his eligibility in a year where the Jays are, in the words of the esteemed Jeff Blair, rebuilding.Quote from Darren the Wise<BR/><BR/>Darren as usual you come up with great points. Just having Barroid in the lineup will scare teams. This team is so perplexing. If they had Barroid last year with that pitching who knows what would have happened? NOw the team will be in the basement. For those who don't think so, ANON @ 2:10 pm is on to something. They couldn't hit NOW they have lost three starters. Their 4th and 5th starters are your second and third pitchers.....it will be a mess. I never believed in curses BUT there is a curse with this team. Is there something with Arnsberg's pitching instruction that is hurting all these guys? <BR/><BR/>Bruno Van RottweillerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-65774745116313207352009-03-04T20:13:00.000-05:002009-03-04T20:13:00.000-05:00That is true.

Am I crazy for wishing he could be signed? My rationale: <BR/><BR/>A) He can DH and probably still mash a few. He should be reasonably cheap.<BR/><BR/>B) The Jays go from a kinda boring team that rarely makes the news to the Macho Man Randy Savage of the MLB<BR/><BR/>C) the youngsters still get their ABs etc. since the old man needs a lot of days off -- PS don't talk to Barry and for fuck's sake don't sit in his shiatsu chairDarren Priesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04577092117174508443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-28419716921210342772009-03-04T16:55:00.000-05:002009-03-04T16:55:00.000-05:00Ahh, Buck Coats.
