To determine what Bonds's OPS would have been in a game without the IBB one shouldn't so much remove the 306 IBBs (all of which were, by defintion, successful plate appearances) as replace them with the outcomes expected on the basis of the 2428 plate appearances in which he was not intentionally walked: 566 BB (non-intentional), 310 1B, 140 2B, 12 3B, 258 HR, 316 SO, 16 SF, 40 HBP. In other words, assume that 33 of those 306 IBBs would have been home runs, 40 would have been strikeouts, etc. I'd be happy to calculate that OPS if you really are interested.
