Bonds in the Bronx?

There are rumors circulating that Barry Bonds could be headed to the Yankees thanks Matsui's bum knee. I can't believe that I am about to write this, but as crazy as it sounds it might just be a good short term solution for the Bombers. Let's look at the pros and cons:

Cons

Barry's attitude will not jive well with the Yankees or especially the fans
Bonds hasn't played a game all year
He would only be useful as a DH and / or possibly at first if Giambi goes down
That whole pending lawsuit thing
His joints are dead thanks to all the juice

Pros

His OPS is still phenomenal
He would be willing to play for the league minimum
He is motivated to get to 3,000 hits so he wouldn't just leave his bat on his shoulder like some other guys on that other team

Still its tough to say. What do you think, should the Yankees give Bonds a run?

Why not? Nothing else is helping.

Gardner, Christian and the other over-hyped scrubs from AAA are not impressing anyone.

Yanks are basically a .500 team right now, so I'd go for it.

Absolutely not.
