What type of numbers do you expect Bonds to put up in 2006?

[Blackout]

anyone gunna take a guess?

[Mattingly]

Would I be forgiven if I said he'd get 5 jacks to bring him all the way to ... 713?

[Blackout]

would i be forgiven if I said I hope he doesn't make it to 709 home runs?


but realistically does anyone think he can get 30-40 homers?

im expecting him to play 120 games, but i base this on nothing


however, i'll draft him in my fantasy league just for his BB-per-game ratio

I see him surprising the baseball world by playing in 130-140 games in 2006, but I think that his average and power will slide precipitously over the grind.

Still, for Barry that would mean 30-35 homers, and a league-leading walk total.

His overall game is so solid that his batting average literally doesn't matter.

Then again, I Just saw a picture of Bonds and I have to say that he looks remarkable for a guy over 40. Huge, muscled, not bloated like last season.

He could possibly crack 40-50 home runs this season---especially since, oddly enough, if he shows signs of decline as a hitter, he will finally get a normal number of hittable pitches.

I see Bonds playing 135-145 games.......Probably hit .280-.330 30-45 HR's drive in 75-110 Runs...lead th eleague in OB% .430-.470 and slug around .600-.650. I dont see him declining...he's that good. At most I beleive he's going to slump early in the season but then catch fire in June.

Yeah, he COULD play that many games. And that's a pretty wide range on the batting average. By saying that you guarantee that you will be right! If he wants to fall apart before the playoffs, that is. Pretty much, 120 or so games from Mr. Bonds will give him about .320-40-90 with 150 walks. More importantly, 120 games from Barry will put the Giants in VERY good position to win the West.

[Dasperp]

i'd bet on about a .300/.450/.650 line.

[BaseballDude89]

I say 26 homers, 77 RBIs, .270 avg., and an MLB-leading 115 walks.

[BaseballDude89]

I meant NL-leading. Bobby Abreu will have like 119, but with 2 teams.

This, sir, is why I say you are an odd duck. I see you're new here, so I'll give you a tip. You'll find members very accepting of new forumers, but some people get upset when people drag up old threads, even if it's for a harmless joke.
