yeah it was the same way for me. I played both and the coaches said the same thing. But with the way the game has change I can see the thinking might not be like that anymore. I know this when I got stronger and bigger from working out I lost my swing, now I am no pro, but I play college ball for San Jose St. And had scouts come lol. But maybe it is different. So you made me think BK!

Re: Official Barry Bonds Thread
Originally posted by ScottdI am saying in general, but we had one on the Giants, Bobby E. He was hugh and strong and that didn't help his game. What I am saying is player that get to big lose their swing, but that is all I have ever been taught, so it could be wrong today. When I say 50/50 I am saying it is a gamble, some might get better and some might not. I know if we look at all the player that did take them, they got good, but they were already good, so I can see you point. I just have been taught that, so that is why I believe what I believe!Comment

Originally posted by bkrich83But he was never a very good hitter to begin with. He's a poor example. Not to mention, I don't remember him ever being small. So to say bulking up hurt him is a stretch. I sure hope that's not the best example you have.Comment

Originally posted by camulosI think a good example of what you're talking about is a guy like Tiger Woods. He's not "big" but he works out a lot in a program that is specifically tailored for his sport.Comment

Re: Official Barry Bonds Thread
I was listening to the radio today and SNET and the FAN's legal analyst Rob Becker was on. It looks like the case against Bonds is legit and there's a very good case against him.
Now the host of the show had a bit of a conspiracy theory as to why Bonds is going to get indicted on perjury charges. He basically thinks that Selig's friends made some phone calls and got the legal eagles out there to put Bonds in jail.
It's interesting tho, the Grand Jury has only been looking at perjury charges for the last month which is about the same time the book came out. It's also interesting to note that the book lays things out so well that the prosecutors can call ppl to the stand that were quoted in said book.
It's going to be VEEEERY interesting to see how this all comes down.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club
