There’s a big question mark in the MLB community, should Barry Bonds play this upcoming season?
Well according to Bonds’ last season performance we all agreed that he should play this 2008 MLB season. He is a very talented MLB player who deserves to continue showing all his fans and people in general all the potential he still has.
And also I personally think that all of us want to see him playing this MLB season as usual. He hasn’t been punished yet so why he shouldn’t give us a few more of his impressive plays?
There are several reasons why he must be allowed to play this season: *His trial will begin when the 2008 MLB season ends: *He is considered innocent in the mean time while the court proves he’s guilty. With these two reasons in Bonds’ favor, there’s no other excuse to prohibit his performance.
There’s a lot of controversy rounding Barry’s case. There are many unfair comments about signing Bonds and this is putting in doubt his staying in the MLB.
The issue here is not that he was alleged for the use of Performance Enhancing Drugs but also he lied to the court when he was previously interviewed by the authorities in charge of his case.
So the chances of Bonds to go to jail after this season are almost a fact. But he is not the only one who is pleading for his freedom there are many other MLB members that are working really hard along with their lawyers to prove their innocence regarding the Steroids epidemic.
We can mention pitcher Andy Pettitte who recognized that he did use the human drug and easily apologize, also Roger Clemens who is passing trough one of the worst times in a person’s life after being betrayed by his personal trainer Brian McNamee and his almost brother and teammate Andy Pettitte.
Bonds is more than a temptation for any MLB owner who is expecting to be on top of the top this season, but we need to give it more time to see if there is someone that would put Bonds’ legal problems apart of his player actuation.
A great writer for Foxsports.com, Ken Rosenthal said these words: “any owner who would prostitute himself by signing Bonds would face a storm of negative publicity boiling down to three words: Shame on you.”
I disagree with this asseveration because even though he has used steroids or not, there’s something we can’t steal from him and is the magnificent way to manage the bat, its part of him.
All Human Being should have a second chance we are not God to judge people the way we want or to decide if what’s are his limits.
