Bonds answer to Tigers' woes?
The blogosphere is loaded with commentary about what Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski ought to do, and one prevailing suggestion is hiring Barry Bonds - the talk escalated when designated hitter Gary Sheffield missed time with a torn tendon in his left ring finger. Sheffield is playing again, but he's hitting .167 (4-for-24) with no extra-base hits and one RBI on a bases-loaded walk. Dombrowski was asked about the possibility of signing Bonds, and he quickly blew it off by saying, "Our everyday lineup is set. It's not even a situation with us."

The Tigirls have turned into the joke team of MLB. Bonds would only make this team more laughable.

Maybe a new manager is the answer? But I seriously doubt Jimbo would ever get fired.

They should bring back Barry. Say what you want about Barry, but the man can flat out hit, and steroids can't help with that. There bats need a lift and even at his age he's better than anybody in their lineup.

IF Shef was out for the year.... I could see them going after Bonds but Shef is going to be OK.

Agree with you 700Level, but Bonds and his bat may be worth it the way the Tigers are playing. But Sheff and Bonds on the same team may be a problem.

We dont need a bonds. We need someone who can make contact other than fly balls and double plays. Its not like this lineup should need help. They need a spark. It doesnt feel like the Tigers I know and love, and wont until Granderson is back.

Ok Bininator, is there anyone on that team that produced better numbers in 2007 than Bonds? I think he probably only played in about 90-100 games anyway and still produced. He would be a good Dh and that would be a scary lineup if the others could start hitting.

Bonds would help. Bottom Line. He gets on base more than anyone they currently have.

700 Level Lifer, you can say ****. And what, has Barry learned how to pitch? Because the Tigers will hit. I think. Someday. Pitching? Until D-Train comes back, they are in serious trouble >>sarcasm <<

Keelee, HollyBull,
Ummm...
Grandy had a 20-20-20 year
You had the batting title and like third runner up in Mags and Placido. (Playing only 90 games doesnt affect your average..)
I think the lineup is scary enough if others start hitting. All I am saying is Bonds isnt the spark to get the others to start hitting. He isnt that positive dugout presence. He is a distraction, and thats the last thing this team needs now.

Nicely said, Wanted Man. If you all can convince me Barry worked on a nasty slider to compliment his blazing fastball during the offseason, this conversation might change, but until then, Tigers dont need to keep adding. They need a good balanced team. Leyland will get them there. I bet they sweep this two game series and start playing a little bit better to welcom Grandy back.

The kis holding the sign....
a) is an actor planted by Barry's agent
b) comes from a pro-steriod family
c) has a father that is too scared to discuss steriods with his son
d) has a father that loves the Tigers so much, he doesnt care if Bonds juiced
