Preliminary proceedings are under way.The New York Times reported that a urine sample Barry Bonds had provided during Major League Baseball’s anonymous “survey” testing in 2003 had tested positive for “performance-enhancing substances.” The samples were seized in a raid in 2004.According to the report, the samples

Government to Prove Barry Bonds Tested Positive for Steroids in 2000
2008-09-25 17:41:00
According to a court filing in San Francisco, the government intends to prove that Barry Bonds tested positive for steroids in November 2000 and that the drugs were provided by his trainer, Greg Anderson. With each court filing, the government's strategy for how they will attempt to prove Bonds committed perjury becomes more clear.Submitted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Parrella, the

A Smaller Barry Bonds?

Without a contract for 2008 and with time to perhaps reflect or whatever, Barry Bonds does look considerably smaller in this video from ESPN.Well, on Friday, he pleaded not guilty to 15 federal charges of lying to a grand jury about his performance-enhancing drug use and the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative in 2003.

Barry Bonds Pleads Not Guilty to Lying About Steroids Use
2008-06-06 23:26:00
Barry Bonds, Major League Baseball's home-run record holder, pleaded innocent today to renewed charges that he lied to a grand jury about taking steroids and obstructed a federal steroids probe.The former San Francisco Giant appeared today in San Francisco federal court with his lawyers for a second time in six months to answer criminal charges in a U.S. probe into steroid use among athletes. In his first appearance, in December, Bonds pleaded not guilty to an indictment accusing him of four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice. Prosecutors filed a new indictment last month charging Bonds with making 14 false statements and obstructing justice after a judge said the first set of charges were flawed. "Not guilty to each count,'' Allen Ruby, Bonds's attorney, told U.S. Magistrate Judge Bernard Zimmerman at a two-minute hearing today in San Francisco. Bonds said only "Yes'' when asked if he would appear at a hearing later today before U.S. District Judge Susa...
Tuesday Notes: Marvin Miller, Fantasy Sports, Barry Bonds

Still Unemployable: Barry Bonds
2008-05-08 02:58:00
Ah, Barry Bonds. The Orioles and several other teams could use him; however, despite his abilities and numbers from 2007, I say this -- he may not find a job anytime soon.I figured that he'd sign on with someone before the season; alas, it is anything but the case. Now, the union is trying to look into why he's not been offered a job.Good luck.From the AP: The Major League Baseball Players Association has expressed concern to the commissioner's office over the lack of offers to Barry Bonds, asking for additional information about the offseason's free-agent market.The union did not go as far as to file a grievance on behalf of the outfielder, 43, who remains unsigned and hasn't received any offers since the San Francisco Giants decided not to re-sign him last year and he became a free agent."We've raised both general concerns and some player specific concerns," Michael Weiner, the union's general counsel, said yesterday.Weiner said the only player the union specifically brough...

Tigers won't panic and won't sign Barry Bonds
2008-04-14 14:43:00
Naturally, there's no panic in Dave Dombrowski's voice. The Detroit Tigers general manager is too seasoned, and he's got too good of a lineup, featuring too many worthy veterans, many still in their primes, for anyone to suspect this is a trend. On the other hand, it's not just the lineup. The rotation had just one quality start (six or more innings, three or fewer runs) in the first nine games, putting extra pressure on a bullpen that was supposed to be the biggest concern of all the San Francisco Chronicle reported.While Dombrowski simplified things by saying, "We just haven't played good baseball," the blogosphere is loaded with commentary about what he ought to do, and one prevailing suggestion is hiring Barry Bonds - the talk escalated when designated hitter Gary Sheffield missed time with a torn tendon in his left ring finger.Sheffield is playing again, but he's hitting .167 (4-for-24) with no extra-base hits and one RBI on a bases-loaded walk. Dombrowski was asked ...

The San Francisco Giants will not make an effort to bring back controversial home run king Barry Bonds, even at a reduced price, team President Peter Magowan said. "No, not this team," he said. "We're going in a new direction; that would not be going in a new direction. The time has come to turn the page. We're very respectful, at least I am, appreciative of all the contributions he made to the Giants over all that long period of time. But the time came when we needed to go in a new direction."The club has also removed prominent tributes in AT&T Stadium to the slugger, who has steroid allegations and perjury charges hanging over his head.

BALCO Cyclist a Blueprint for Eventual Barry Bonds Trial
2008-03-27 14:36:00
On March 14, 2002, a representative of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency went to Chula Vista, Calif., to collect a urine sample from an elite athlete who was training there. It was a surprise test, in more ways than one.In a federal courtroom Wednesday, doping control officer Thomas McVay testified that the athlete came to the door with shaving cream on her face. That is not a typo. The athlete in question was Tammy Thomas, a female track cyclist who was ensnared in the sprawling BALCO doping scandal. Steroid abuse had given her facial hair, male-pattern baldness and a deep, gravelly voice, several witnesses have testified this week. Thomas is a relatively obscure athlete, but her trial is seen as a preview of the government's case against Barry Bonds, who has pleaded not guilty to charges similar to those Thomas is facing - that is, perjury and obstruction of justice stemming from testimony the BALCO athletes gave to a grand jury in 2003. So far, it has been a humiliating experience for...
Good steroids, bad business, big Barry Bonds: Tammy Thomas trial touches on
2008-03-27 09:09:00
Testimony in the Tammy Thomas-BALCO perjury trial turned to basic business yesterday.  And talked your basic Barry Bonds too.  Bonds, Marion Jones, and Jason Giambi received huge bang for their bucks according to testimony. Patrick Arnold -- who has to know about as much about anabolic steroids as anyone on the planet -- and his ex-girlfriend talked to the jury.  Kelcey Dalton confided that Arnold gave his then-undetectable AAS -- the Clear -- to athletes including Marion Jones, CJ Hunter and Barry Bonds.  However as adroit as Arnold appeared in synthesizing steroids, he appeared clumsy in business acumen. "Here's the thing: the stuff was so strong, man," said Kelcey Dalton, who helped market the substances developed and manufactured by Patrick Arnold, her then-boyfriend. Arnold, a chemist, invented some of the steroids at the heart of a drugs and sports scandal in which Thomas is the first person being tried. Dalton, testifying on the third day of ...

Would the Mets Get Barry Bonds?
2008-03-14 17:02:00
As I sit here in the luxurious Memphis airport (insert sarcasm, here), reading my ESPN the magazine, the craziest of crazy thoughts crossed my mind. Would the Mets actually go get Barry Bonds?Nah, that's crazy. Right?Yes, it is, but don't put it past a desperate Omar Minaya. The closer it gets to opening day and the more we see that Moises Alou might be out a really long time, and the more we see that our lineup lacks power will force Minaya to look for some help.The idea of getting Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs Crisp for Endy Chavez is ludicrous, but signing Barroid Bonds might not be. He plays left field. Draws a ton of walks. Oh and by the way happens to hit a lot of home runs.I personally wouldn't touch Bonds with a ten foot pole, but don't tell me that the thought hasn't crossed Minaya's mind. The media circus would be insane if Bonds played in New York.I hope it doesn't come to that, but I do think the Mets need another solid power bat this year to be a contender. That is unle...
Baseball Blogs Weigh In: Barry Bonds
2008-03-14 11:51:00
The biggest name remaining in the free agent market is one Barry Lamar Bonds. The most recent rumored destinations for the all-time home run champ have been the Rays, Mets and even Japan. The Rays say there was never any serious consideration and the Mets say they are not interested. The biggest question mark concerning Bonds is whether his production at age 43 is worth the circus that follows, both in the clubhouse and in the media. Yesterday at my home base, Rays Index, I contacted Chone Smith of Anaheim Angels All The Way, and creator of the CHONE projection system.  Smith had used his projection system to predict that the final regular season standings. The Rays are projected to win 89 games and finish third in the AL East, based on a considerable improvement in pitching and defense. The Mets are projected to win 92 games. In an effort to estimate Bonds' on-field impact, we asked Smith to substitute Bonds into the Rays and Mets lineups and rerun his projections. With Bond...

Joba Chamberlain And Barry Bonds
2008-03-03 19:18:00
There are a couple of issues gnawing at my insides.  The first is Joba Chamberlain's usage, and the second is Barry Bonds.  I am a Yankees fan first and foremost, and I understand not destroying the golden arm of Chamberlain.  But I cannot get past this desire of the Yankees to tempt the fates to leave Joba as a set-up man. Wouldn't this lead to another season of babying in 2009 as he will not accumulate the necessary innings in 2008 to be a season-long starter in 2009 under the +30 Rule being applied this season? Joba has been ranked as the top starting pitching prospect in baseball by Baseball America with four plus pitches, and the Yankees want to waste that in the 8th inning.  I can't be the only one who thinks this is idiocy, either to have a reliever ranked as the #3 overall prospect or the Yanks wanting to waste his skills in the bullpen. After all, it was the Yankees that forced this situation by taking Joba out of the rotation last summer to be used a...

Should the Tampa Bay Rays Sign Barry Bonds?
2008-02-26 19:20:00
The latest speculation going around has the Tampa Bay Rays adding all-time HR leader, Barry Bonds, to their line-up as DH.  Whether Joe Sheehan of Baseball Prospectus or Tim Marchman of the NY Sun writing it, there is consensus building that Bonds would make the Rays a darkhorse wildcard contender.   The question whether the team should is twofold.  One, you believe the assumptions upon which that contention is made, and, two, whether the Rays want to sign the most radiocative free agent hitter available. Despite being a stats fan, I'm a little leery of any predictions of the future.  I still wasn't sold on the Rays reaching the .500 record predicted by PECOTA, much less building upon that to add Bonds and get into wildcard contetion.  If it were that easy, why doesn't every team just add Bonds? As Yankees fan, I don't want to see Bonds and his .400+ OBP stuck in the middle of that line-up.  Breaking in Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy and Joba Chamberlain ...

Barry Bonds hovers above spring training
2008-02-26 13:48:00
Barry Bonds is hovering over spring training. We mean that metaphorically, not in the sense that his head has inflated to the size of a Macy's Parade balloon and he's floating up there in the Arizona sun waiting for a call according to the San Jose Mercury News.According to the St. Petersburg Times, the Tampa Bay (Don't Call Us Devil) Rays have been talking about whether to sign the home run king. Yes, the 43-year-old pariah playing for a hopefully fourth-place team, taking at-bats from a developing player, in a stadium that should be sponsored by Costco. Come on, Barry. That's Sinatra finishing at the Red Lion in Elko. That's Eastwood directing late-night cable access.St. Louis Cardinals Manager Tony La Russa told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he wanted Bonds to hit behind Albert Pujols, but "for whatever reason, at the general manager or the ownership level, they didn't agree." Hey, if there's one person who doesn't need to worry about the taint of steroids anymore, it's th...

A Possible Return Of Barry Bonds?
2008-02-26 01:47:00
Well, I presumed that Barry Bonds might have a new home based on his 2007 season; however, as it is right now, he's without a baseball home and seemingly unemployable due to his drug issues and federal indictment.However, there's one team that may have interest in the beleaguered slugger -- yes, the Tampa Bay Rays.The Tampa Bay Rays have recently done what the St. Louis Cardinals did a while back: have internal discussions about the prospect of pursuing Barry Bonds.Manager Joe Maddon said Monday he knew "little" about what was going on, but acknowledged some thought has been given to the career home run leader."A minor discussion was thrown out there a little bit, and it's really not gone any further than that," Maddon said after Monday's workout at the team's spring training facility. "That's all it is right now."The St. Petersburg Times reported in Monday's editions that team officials have conferred among themselves about Bonds and other veteran unsigned free agents, such ...
