I don't have a problem with Bonds. Like I said, I just can't think of a worse fit. He's a constant distraction with the media, he (purportedly) doesn't bring anything to the table in terms of mentoring younger players and I think he'd actually hurt the image of the franchise in this market, rather than "put butts in the seats". Not to mention he'd take at bats away from Billy Butler, which would be the last thing you want long term.

This isn't a franchise that's in a position to add a player like Bonds. If this was 2010 or 2011 and Butler/Gordon/Teahen/Moustakas/Hochevar/ Cortes/Lumsden/Grienke are established major leaguers for a contending Royals team, it would make sense. Right now it would be a short cut that would hurt the long-term growth of the Royals for a few home runs and (maybe) meaningless wins now.

They're going about it the right way.

As for the original article, I like the way they're playing now, too.
