[QUOTE="alphakenny1, post: 2929735, member: 561605"] i try not to be biased at all. key word "try." i try to tell what i see. i've watched a-rod, pujols, ryan howard, manram, big papi, etc. all hit and while they are very good, bonds was simply in a league of his own. he simply doesn't swing out of the strike zone. watch an at bat of his. he rarely ever ever check swings and he spits on curveballs and sliders. he already knows whats coming out of the pitchers hands most of the time. maybe i'm nieve but tell me how i'm biased? i'm not saying i'm not biased but i'm trying to tell what i've seen. i know he's an ******* and i know he's done steroids. i can't defend bonds the person but i can defend bonds the player. people outside of the bay area simply do not know how good he is. they just think "oh he's done steroids and he's a cheat." yes thats true but i mean he' also very very good player and that is my point. [B]what have i stated that seem to be "biased?"[/B] i mean like i said, will steroids fix a mechanically bad swing? no. will steroids help a hitters eye? no. will steroids help a players hand eye coordination? no. john kruk, harold reynolds, peter gammons and the whole espn crew have broken down bonds' swing and all agree, it doesn't get any better mechanically than his swing. IMO i think i'm just defending him but again with good observations not just "oh barry is the man and he's the greatest." i'm trying to explain what he's actually doing. obviously him taking steroids jumped him from being considered from a hall of fame player to being considered one of the greatest ever. so i'm not really denying how steroids has affected him as a player. how can steroids help? i can't honestly give you an answer. the only thing i really can think of is it'll give him the energy to do it everyday. it'll give him energy to out for 162 games to go out and pound the ball. i honestly think that he knew big mac and sammy sosa were doing the juice and got jealous to see them get all the publicity. thats what probably got him started. but also people forget he was voted the best player in the 90's [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif[/IMG].
