Past WAR data is very unreliable, especially early in the season. Check those numbers on the weekend and they'll probably be different. Even still I wouldn't trust old defensive numbers that factor into the WAR.
Better to look at Bonds' raw OPS, which was good in 2041 and 2042 but mediocre in other years. I realize Bonds has a very good LF defense, but LF is one of the top cases for a bat-first position.
Not trying to knock Bonds here, as I liked him when he was on the Pirates and have enjoyed that particular card from Iron to Diamond. Just saying he starts to slow down at Perfect Level.
