What Makes Bonds so Much Better?
Question:bonds won 4 straight mvp awards and has always been considered the best player to play in this era but i was looking at his stats and he only led the majors in HRs once and he never has tons of RBIs like some other guys so what makes him super great and superior to guys like arod, pujols, manny, and many other superstars? is it cause he hardly strikes out, or all of his walks. or am i overrating HRs and RBIs and underrating stats like OBP and slugging average and walks, and strikeouts? i cant seem to grasp how good bonds was cause he really never lead the majors in RBIs and HRs except once.

Well, you can't help the fact that Bonds IS indeed the best hitter in this era.
Baseball announcers, opinion question?
well he is on steroids and is second all time in home runsWhat's your prediction for Clemens' stat line in his first game back with the Yankees?
He's probably got the best hand-eye coordination of anyone that has played in the last 20 years or so.Coco Crisp being thrown out of the game..?
probably because he is about to pass hank aaron and his bat speed is incredible. his on base percentage is unbelievable because he walks about twice a game. i still wouldnt consider him the best though.What is the most pitches thrown in the MLB by one pitcher?
he should be ban for life and not allowed in the hall of fame.Are the cubbies for real? thye have turned it around lately!?
he is just a great player. even if he did take steroids,if the talent isn't there then they aren't going to make you betterWill Detroit and Kansas City???
Several good players used steroids to get even better, and out of that group Bonds became the best long ball home-run hitter. He may or may not still use steroids, but he is persisting in his attempts to break the all time record so some will be fooled into thinking that since he can still hit homers, he didn't need steroids to do so. But as I said, he was always a good player, and being able to still hit homers disproves nothing about his past use.He will sooner or later break Aaron's record, and nobody who cares about such records will give a damn - as they will know it's only the record for the best hitter among the steroids users.
Bonds is the most OVER-RATED player in history. Compare his stats with Ruth's. It took Bonds twice as many games to reach these "records". And Ruth did'nt CHEAT ! Research some Bonds photos. Some from his first year, and some current ! Gee, older men do get bigger with time !
Who is better the Yankees or the Rockies?
Bonds is better at NOT making outs than anyone else playing.This is a real skill and highly valuable. Outs are bad. Not making outs is good. Bonds is the best at this.
Anyone claiming Bonds sucks, or whatever, will have to argue that outs are good. Or be a hypocrite. Or a liar. Neither of which seem to bother people in these dark times.
He is one of only 6 players in the 300-300 club (homers-stolen bases)
He is the only one in the 400-400 club and the only in the 500-500 club.
Wow I guess speed and power makes you great.
if you look at his stats he consistently put up 40 plus home runs for like 14 years straight. david ortiz has done that for 4 years and hjes considered amazing.
Who will be the two teams to repersent the NL and AL in the world series?
hand speed and eye/hand coordination is an awesome combinationwhat makes him so much better is dedication, discipline, and work ethic. stats aside, he is and always has been the first player to thegame and the last to leave. for crying out loudit doesnt matter what day of the year it is he takes 1000 hacks in the cage, on top of what ever the team is doing. and you can say what you want to say about steriods, but if i juiced you up and sent you you to face roger clemens i would bet my life that you are going to hit a homerun. people just dont get that there is so much more into it than that. its pitch selection wich by the way if you havent noticed he just doest swing at bad pitches ever! it is timing, it is bat speed and msot of all it is a fundimentally sound swing. barry bonds was hitting homeruns long before this and he will continue to hit them as long as he plays because his mechanics are flawless. i should know my uncle tells me all the time, oh yah and by the way is has the all time hits record, yeah thats right pete rose. so if my uncle says his swing is flawless i am taking it to the bank because there is no one else that would know better.the stat that sticks out the most to me that has nothing to do with steriods at all is his homerun to strike out ratio. and whenever you can draw more walks then an entire team in a season , then i think it i safe to say that he is very disciplined at the plate, he doest make mistakes. and to top all of that off, try going to the plate being barry bonds and haveing to deal with death threats, steriod use, homerun records, and everything else that he is exposed to but yet i dont know of any body else that could forget about all of that step up to the plate and hit a baseball 500ft into an ocean.
Who has the most homeruns in any USA league including old Negro League so don't say it's HANK AARON?
steroidsRain delay yesterday they played the next day no save dempster why?
It's called 'roids... and how can ppl believe even if he wasnt taking them he'd be great? if that was the case HE WOULDN'T BE TAKING THEM ...I've studied up on Bonds and he was a great athlete since he was a kid but he would not be this great without the help of drugs at this age. I 100% believe he would not be "chasing" Hank Aaron's record without steroids therefore I agree with Schilling.. his stats should be wiped out.. there is not excuse to cheat in baseball. I will give credit to where credit is due.. Bonds was still great before the help of drugsMore Questions & Answers...
