1. TVerik - Dr. Velocity Posted: September 26, 2022 at 08:19 PM (#6098013)Do the 1995 (Seattle) and 1997 (Cleveland) ALDS end up differently with Bonds in pinstripes? The 2001 7-game World Series? Instead of a threepeat (1998-2000) and four-out-of-five, are we looking at five championships in a row? Seven?
With Bonds in the Bronx, do the Yanks trade for A-Rod after the 2003 season? 2001 is when Bonds went into full "Beast Mode" (73 HR, 328/515/863 slash)... how would that have played out differently on the east coast?
The 98 team gave Chad Curtis 545 PAs, 100 games in LF. He had a 93 RC+ and wracked up 2.1 fWAR. Bonds in LF might push that team to 120 regular season wins. LF was generally a revolving door for most of the 90s too. Could not have been a better fit, although who knows how he would play with Torre/Jeter/etc.
Also amazing to be reminded of how good he was at this time in his career. He had a 10 WAR season in 93.
It's true. I even looked to see if his acquisition in 1993 would have pushed them back in the draft and they lost someone crucial. Nope.
