    Bonds was a five tool player. Lofton is still out there and so is Shawn Green who could help in the OF and 1B.

    I agree with most of what you said. I wish Greeny would come back, but he'll only go to the west coast. Lofton would be nice, but I'm not sure a no-power lefty is what Minaya is looking for.

    No power but a career .300 hitter with speed and good on base skills. Alou didn't possess all that much power anyway.

    Alou hit 13 HR(compared to Lofton's 7), in 172 fewer at bats. Alou has the same contact skill and more power. Obviously, Alou is the better player, save for injuries, but I would take Lofton.

    I just don't think another old player is the answer to the Mets' needs. Give Alou a year, throw Chavez and possibly Easley in the mix, and let them handle the position until Fernando Martinez is ready.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    I think its automatic that if Kenny Lofton is on your team, you're going to the playoffs.

    Bonds is a great HR hitter, but I don't think you can really believe that Bonds would fit well in NY, it's just not a place that has anything good to say about him. He's hated here, much like everywhere, but here, fans are quicker to kick your ass as a player. I just don't see it being a good fit at all.
    Ruth is a ****ing fraud, he's no "American hero", he failed to play against the negro because he knew he wouldn't have been this good, he was a womanizer(very good role model for kids right?) used a corked bat.

    What reality? Reality of the fact that Ruth used a corked bat? Ruth was a womanizer? Ruth didn't play against minorities? Ruth didn't go to WWI?

    Were your born out of your fathers ass when you started making any kind of remarks against Bonds or any players?
    How's the trial going?

    Better yet, what's the prognostication on the Giants this year? Bonds is gone buddy.

    He does this all the time. Besides the Bonds shit, 9erEmpire/GF83 is a mad cool ****er.

    Learn to ignore and move on. It isn't worth the time or effort.
