Almost every homer i've seen him hit was off a mistake from a guy trying to pitch around him, and i've seen him strike out a ton on high fastballs.

Not that my oppinions mean much, i'm not a scout or anything, but if i were a manager i wouldn't bother pitching around him.
This is quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard. He hit those 119 HR over the last 2 years almost always on MISTAKES by pitchers. So, we can therefore deduce that pitchers make many more mistakes to Barry Bonds, not that he selects good pitches. Wow.

Survey says........ you're an idiot.
