He could not throw Sid Bream, who had a total of about 15 surgeries on his knees. When the situation was pressure filled or important, Bonds was no better than Jose Lind. I have written in response to email sent by Brian Volk. He is, to put it plainly, rather roomy upstairs if he thinks Bonds' achievements can be diminished because of anemic playoff performances. Using this logic, Ted Williams should be disqualified for 1946 alone.
Bonds is the power forward of baseball.
He is the man you want on the field when clutch-time happens. It does not matter to me if the performance is degraded in the postseason. That is irrelevant. Pedro Martinez won the Cy Young in 2000 without even reaching the postseason. There are plenty of players in the Hall who never reached the postseason or had poor performances there after brilliant years.
