Seems as if The Barry Bonds Family Foundation has welcomed a new member.

“I don’t try to compare me to anybody,’’ Bonds said. “I was the best on the field. I did more things than he did. My game was different than his game. So comparing him, to me, there’s no comparison.

“He doesn’t have my MVPs. He doesn’t have my numbers. Well, not yet, anyways.

“But does he have that ability? Yes, he does.

“Does he have that gift? Yes, he does.’‘

Dotel, 39, is well-respected in the clubhouse and around the league.

Both of them, actually. The Tigers are his 13th (count 'em!) major league team.

Who else? Octavio Dotel of course.

True veteran leadership is all about attacking your team's best player in the press.

I'm pretty sure during the MVP voting writers clearly established Miggys credentials as a team leader.

Yes, the guy who maybe was the 2nd best player in all of baseball last year needs to be challenged to be 'better'.

Seems like when it comes to leadership, the Tigers should probably institute a Don't Ask Dotel policy.

Ugh. Just start the season already.

Meh, Dotel is just angling to land on team #14.

#6 is awesome.

More praise for #6. Well played indeed.

He’s one of the few Tigers who has a World Series ring.

I thought of this as a trivia question for myself (which team did he win it with?). I guessed NY in 09, and was wrong.

I think he won it with his 29th team, the Cardinals.
