Answers:
How many home runs does Barry Bonds need to break the record?
jaret Wright - Yes, If he can get healthy the O's will throw him out there.Tim Raines, Jr. - maybe...I don't know a whole about him, but he could be a September call up.
Lance Niekro - Yes, he was a good player for the Giants for a while.
Sean Burroughs - No, he struggled the whole time he was in the bigs.
Sandy Alomar, Jr. - No. way too old to catch even as a backup.
Javy Lopez - Maybe as a DH or short term injury replacement.
Rickey Henderson - No, unless you count the publicity stunt Oakland wants to do as making it back.
Hideo Nomo - No, he didn't have it last time he came back.
Ben Grieve - No, he was always overrated to me.
Juan Gone - No, you've got to be kidding right??
Danny Graves - Yes, teams are always looking for bullpen help, someone will give him a shot.
Bernie - No, the Yankees don't want him and he won't play elsewhere.
Pokey - No, he was always horrible with the bat and still is.
Charles Johnson - No way, too old to catch more than a game a week.
Edgardo Alfonso - Maybe, someone could give him a shot in spring training and he might find it again.
Mike Hampton - Yes, and will promptly land back on the DL.
Carl Everett - No way, he didn't have it last time he tried.
Choi - Yes, I can see him having power overseas and someone giving him a fiftieth chance.
Ainsworth - No, he never showed he had it.
Abernathy - No, I'm not sure who he is exactly...
Hinch - No, is this a joke??
Jones - N/A, He's in the bigs now for the Cubs.
Kotsay - Yes, When he is healthy he's the CF in Oakland for sure.
Koch - No, overrated when he played before.
LeCroy - Yeah, the Twins seem to like him for some reason.
Garcia - No, was marginal at best in his prime.
Durazo - No, not sure what happened but he lost it in a hurry...steroids anyone?
Chen - Yes, he's left handed and pitches. Someone will want him.
Betemit - N/A, he's with the Dodgers and play quite a bit still.
American league pitchers or national league pitchers- who tend to be better HITTERS?
wright, hampton, betemit, kotsay will be back for sure. hee seop choi went to korea to play kbl.Jacque Jones is playing for the Cubs. Betemit is playing for the Dodgers.
Hampton is under contract through 2008; if he's healthy, he'll pitch. I cannot imagine his team (currently the Braves) will pick up his 2009 option, though.

Who should the Dodgers get to fill there power void?
betemit played today, but he sucks.Whats the name of the manager who put himself on the lineup as a DH and hit a homerun?
i thought matt lecroy was on the twins? i guess not. he will play again.Question about pitchers hitting in the AL?
I-a-i, that's quite a list. Some of these are close calls, so I'll give my best guess; Burroughs, Niekro, B.Williams(I hear he wants to play, and I think someones gonna sign him),Choi, Kotsay, Le Croy, and Chen. Isn't Jones playing now?More Questions & Answers...
