I never said that Bonds would help the Giants make the playoffs.

"But he is going to be valuable to this Giants team even though their chances of advancing in the playoffs are zero to none."

"At this point it's not up to him to put San Francisco over the top. The Padres are a phenomenon, they lose everyday and yet they still remain perched atop the National League West."

Bonds is too little too late. Excuse the cliché.

And I agree with your views on Schmidt and Tomko. They need to trade those two soon and try and get what they can for them. Schmidt always seems to start out a season well but runs into trouble around the All-Star break. If they could drop those two contracts then it would be in their best interests to throw up big money for A.J. Burnett.
