Barry Bonds Getting Ready to Comeback (stance, athletic, team, Major League Baseball) - - City-Data Forum

With only one conviction upheld and that on appeal and certain to be overturned, rumors that Barry is training and readying himself for a comeback surround him. I for one look forward to him returning if only for a limited role in the DH.

Bonds will be 48 next season.

Julio Franco had 106 plate appearances at the age of 48. He hit .321/.289 (OBP/SLG) for a .278 wOBA that was 68% of the major league average

Isn't there HGH testing in baseball now? Or is that just the minor leagues

You require an explanation? It doesn't dawn on you that there aren't any 48 year old players and that there is a reason for that? You are unable to guess that reason? You have no familiarity with the degeneration of athletic ability as age advances?

How is he going to play at 48 without the clear?

DH would be an ideal role for a baseball player with power.

Why do you hate on Barry?

Barry led the team in the last three years of his tenure while being tested every week. Barry never tested positive for any banned substance.

That is a fact.
