    Re: Barry, 8 away from 700

    I think what Tajiri is stating is that Barry won't pass Aaron next year. He'll pass him in 2 years.

    I'd also venture to guess that he won't pass Aaron next year. I doubt he'll get pitched to enough to hit more than 45 HR's next year and that probably won't be enough to pass Aaron unless he hits 10 or so more this year.

      That's exactly what I'm saying.

      If you look at who the Giants play after the Padres, I don't see him getting too many pitches to hit. I'll try and break it down, let's say he ends the year at 705.

      I'd say next year, with him taking more days off I don't think he'll hit 40. But 30 next year, and then 30 after that is very well possible. A lot depends on what management let's Sabean do next year. If he can get someone behind Barry, then watch out.

      A starting rotation next year of Schmidt, Williams, Rueter, Foppert and Lowry should do just fine. Maybe Tomko, if they pick up his option, which they should. The team needs bullpen help, and 1 more big bat, maybe two.

          Oops, the way that I read it, I thought that you meant it would take him two years to pass Ruth.

          Well, it really just depends on how much he gets pitched around. I have a good feeling he won't get passed 200 walks again next year, but he just may. Hopefully, he'll get a maximum amount of walks where he can get a minimum of 755 career home runs by next year.

              If Bonds gets a ring, it'll help his case for best of all time. 700 helps too.

              Just amazing.

                  The Giants organization has to try and help Barry get his Ring (if he doesn't get it this season ) because look at what Barry has done to the franchise. It only makes sense to get help next year because he can only do so much. Anways, Congrats Barry, on becoming the third player to hit 700 Homers!!!
