Judge Dred (Fred)Jay,
You're right! Bonds already had the talent to hit the baseball. The thread is about Bonds so he's getting hit pretty hard here. There are others that juiced so Bonds is not alone, he just happened to use the edge to better himself more than others have. I've posted it several times already, I like to watch Bonds hit the ball and I like to watch his at bats because they are somewhat mesmerizing. Although I don't think to highly of Bonds "the person", I do think he's added a lot of excitement to the game. Now on the subject of bulk and homeruns... a good example of raw power and bat speed without all the bulk is George Foster. Wow, he was fun to watch in a game. Actually, that whole Red Machine team was great to watch.
Again, I'm not a big Bonds fan but I can admit that he's been fun to watch lately.
