Barry Bonds should be traded to an American League team where he can be useful as a DH. Barry can still hit home runs with the best of them and can find a new identity in the American League. Frank Thomas is an example of a successful DH in the American League and he has had a pretty decent year with the Toronto Blue Jays. Barry can put up better numbers then Big Frank.

If Barry wants to reach the 800 plateau and beyond all he needs to do is play another year or two and with his ability he can easily put up above average numbers. Barry deserves to continue his career because he has not done anything to prove he should quit. I believe A-Rod will one day break the home run record so it is in Barry's best interest to continue playing for a couple more years. Barry also wants to prove to Americans that he is clean and is a dignified person.

Barry is useful for any American League team in search of another bat to take them to the promised land. Barry Bonds has never won a World Series and I believe he deserves that opportunity. Imagine Barry suiting up for the New York Yankees next year. He is good for at least 30 home runs and is becoming more likable with age. If you want Barry Bonds to have a chance to win a World Series than you would agree with me by voting yes. There is no doubt that in a DH role he would still be one of the dominant home run hitters in the game. Barry Bonds should play for two more years. If Frank Thomas can do what he has done as a DH then Barry Bonds can do it also because Barry Bonds is a better overall poser hitter then Big Frank.
