If they do, and if Meche and Greinke can stay healthy, it will be a fun summer.Lee Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16017140298065755618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11922808.post-30406356706250590052009-04-30T15:20:00.000-05:002009-04-30T15:20:00.000-05:00Barry Who?

Remember the Royals have only played 21 (and a half) games so far this year. I am not ready to give up on these young guys yet. Butler showed me last night that we should still be patient and these guys will get it going. I think that Seitzer is going to get the bats going. We will be fine. This team will become less fun for me to watch with Bonds out there.jgsteelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03491495781816879570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11922808.post-76344973438270314852009-04-30T00:47:00.000-05:002009-04-30T00:47:00.000-05:00Thanks for you input.

It's totally electric at home. His presence would raise the focus of the whole team (and it wouldn't be hurt by the additional fans coming from long distances and the crowds in right field). Being noticed is good. Since being a Royal would mean he doesn't have to play defense, there wouldn't be anything to complain about. The vast majority of his (hitting) teammates on the Giants really liked him despite what the press said. You can find, if you look hard, obscure articles about Ray Durham, Kevin Frandsen, Rajai Davis, and Fred Lewis talking about how much he helped them. Even recent Arizona State guys. Even the Giants new president talks about the knowledge he can share (he can call the pitches and locations nearly every time, which is why he hits better than everyone else).<br /><br />Do not believe any MSM articles on chemistry. Bonds isn't going to hustle. He'll just hit. Even if he's old he'll do it better than just about anyone. We really don't know if he's got the want to play - and if he doesn't he wouldn't be signing with the Royals even if they offered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
