According to this story on ESPN, Barry Bonds wants to play this year and has his agent looking for a team interested in his services.

If MLB wants me to give a shit about baseball 2009, I suggest they stop with the BS collusion and and have a team sign the greatest hitter of all time to a contract.

If Alex Rodriguez is playing in 2009, why can't Barry Bonds? Why is he being singled out like he's the only dude that did steroids? It's ridiculous. It's clear that *most* current major league players have used steroids. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the number was close to 75%. Hell that may be an underestimate.

If I thought no one was going to sign him simply because he's too old, then I could understand that. And he is 44 this year (turning 45 this summer.) But the last time he suited up (in 2007) he was still among the most effective hitters in the league (he lead the majors in OBP) so I think he clearly deserves the chance to show he can still hit.
