Bonds in the Bush Leagues

In what will come as absolutely no shock to anyone, Barry Bonds' agent has said that his client will not plead for a minor league job Jay Gibbons-style. He will help out minor league teams with promotions, however:

"He has nothing to prove there," Bonds' agent, Jeff Borris, said Wednesday. "He doesn't need to go to an independent team and hit two home runs a night hoping to get attention to prove that he still has the skills that would warrant him playing at the major league level."

I predict the first "Barry Bonds Night" at an independent league stadium will occur within the next week. Come one, come all! If the Mudville Muffins hit two home runs in tonight's game, everyone in attendance will win a coupon for protein shakes at the local GNC!
