The Greatest Platoon of all-time

By Tangotiger, 04:49 PM

Rob Neyer is proposing Frank Thomas (RHH) and Barry Bonds (LHH) be signed on some team as the DH. That would be fantastic!

That’s probably a 1+ OPS platoon on both sides. But Frank wouldn’t be happy because he would be so part time and he wouldn’t even be pinch hitting for the DH if a lefty came in.

somebody should sign barry already.
