He obviously is a good hitter, one of the better hitters in the game, possibly ever. His vision is great and he has an excellent formed swing. But his power is increasing as he approaches 40, as is his bulk and head size. He is not the same barry bonds who came into the league rail thin... he is a freakin' robot. Skill should increase with age and maturity, but power/size does not increase that dramatically from age 25 to age 40, EVER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny Ramirez has struck out 8 times this year and has 20 more AB's. Enrique Wilson has two K's in 42 ab's...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bullshiznitzII Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 An even more impressive stat, Bonds has swung and missed only 7 times this year. Thats not strikeouts, thats swinging and missing the ball ONLY 7 TIMES. Early in the season, but still impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
