David SmithEverybody likes to play the What if game with Ted Williams as far as "What if he didn't miss 5 years because of military duty?"
Well, let's do the same thing with Bonds, except in reverse. What if Bonds didn't do steroids for 5 years of his career, what would his stats look like??
My guess is his Batting average, slugging percentage, on base percentage, OPS, Runs, Walks, Intentional Walks, RBI's, Home Runs and Total Bases would all decrease. With that said, he probably wouldn't have 7 MVP Awards and his total game would look more like Ken Griffey Jr's.
That would still be a great career and probably First Ballot Hall of Fame numbers but nowhere near what he has accomplished while juiced.
Personally, if I were Commishioner, I woulod set an example and put Bonds on the inelegible list so that he can no longer play the game and is not on the Hall of Fame ballot. They did it to Rose for gambling and lying and they should do it to Bonds.
