USA Today: Marlins and Bonds Tentatively Agree on Deal

[emkayseven]

Heyman reports. http://mweb.cbssports.com/mlb/writer...-hitting-coach

apparently he and Menechino would both coach

[Nick]

Just what this organization needs. More ego.

[Namaste]

I definitely don't hate this

[MiamiHomer]

Can he play 1st base for us too?

[Nick]

If this happens, I'm predicting Derek Dietrich is murdered by mid-season.

[thatnewguy]

Stanton's about to get the juice.

[Todd]

And thanks to Barry Bonds, erm, connections, Donovan Solano bursts onto the scene with a 52 home run season and a noticeably larger head.

[HUGG]

[Valid]

Not that hitting coaches actually do much, but hiring arguably the greatest hitter the game has ever seen can't hurt.

I'd legit be down for this. Let him be a player/coach. Juiced Bonds in his 50's is still going to be better than most players in their prime.

[tjfla]

Well they made him the offer. His decision now

Big question is Does Bonds bring his own juice OR does Jeff gotta pay the bill for that? If so there goes the budget increase for the season

Also DD had issues with Tino I can imagine him getting along with Bonds HAHA

So now we have "Co Batting Coaches" and an "Assistant Batting Coach" as well as a "Pitching Coach" and a "VP of Pitching" as well as 2 "GM- One who goes to meetings and One who makes the decisions" plus we are paying 3 other guys to sit home all day

Someone needs to tell Jeff that it is NOT the lack of coaching talent it is the lack of talent on the field and in the minors. Instead of paying 10 guys in the FO/Coaching he should take the cash an invest it in IFA or better yet pay guys salaries and get actual prospects in trades

Next Week will be our big spending week tho!! Rule 5 Draft Time!!!

A lot of people are mad about this potential hiring. I love it.

They have to generate headlines somehow.....they certainly won't do it with players they sign, or on the field, aside from Ichiro's 3000 quest.

[HUGG]

I'd rather have Barry Bonds than some IFA asshole. tj living in a bubble.
