I never understood the hatred for him. Of course, Bonds's attitude didn't endear him to a lot of folks outside San Francisco, either.Originally posted by Yankillaz View PostDave Bill Tom George Mark Bob Ernie Soupy Dick Alex Sparky

A guy who rolls out 115-120 ERA+ every year a top-10 player much less pitcher? I don't see it. I know he has been fantastic in a few postseasons, but there is no way i'd take him right now for a season over Sale or Wainwright or a bunch of other guys until he shows he can dominate (not just be really good) in the regular season at least once.1885 1886 1926 1931 1934 1942 1944 1946 1964 1967 1982 2006 2011

I wanted to take a wildcard pick, and he was it...certainly a lot of guys could have been taken, including waino...but my pick is obviously contingent also on if he can continue where he left offOriginally posted by GiambiJuice View PostComment

That makes more sense. Though past performance is the best predictor of future performance. He is young of course, so he has room.Originally posted by bluesky5 View Post1885 1886 1926 1931 1934 1942 1944 1946 1964 1967 1982 2006 2011
