No Market for Bonds?
Not exactly a shock here. Baseball continues to reel from steroids/HGH announcements and pronouncements, and Barry Bonds' agent is surprised no one has called?
No one is seeking out the Poster Child for Unnatural Growth?
I'm shocked.
Here is the news story.
You would think the agent would understand: Barry Bonds is radioactive. No team wants to have that glowing lump of plutonium sitting in their clubhouse.
Actually, you hardly want Bonds around even if he were clean. Well, for one, he probably would shrivel up like a vampire exposed to sunlight. But also because he commands/demands such special pampering by the home team. The extra lockers, the PR people running interference, the play-when-he-feels-like-playing stuff. Making sure the third baseman, shortstop and center fielder run into left and take any ball they can possibly reach because Barry can't move enough anymore to play defense.
And do you want to win with Barry? Wouldn't it kind of ruin the whole effect, having Big-head Barry around?
You certainly don't want to lose with a 40-something chemically created monster in your lineup.
I'll be shocked if anyone picks up the guy. Shocked.
