Who would you rather have Roger Clemens or Barry Bonds

Question

Don't say none. You gotta pick one.

Answer 1

Barry Bonds because he is a beter player than Clemens. At least when Bonds was off the juice he got the hr record and clemens was on the juice untill the mitchell report came out. Bonds stopped in 2001

Answer 2

I would say neither if I could, but if I had to choose one, I would go with Roger Clemens. There's a higher need for quality pitching nowadays, and a crafty pitcher can last for a long time. Both of their personalities need major adjusting though.

Answer 3

Bonds because has more of an impact on a team than clemens. even at his age, bonds would be a great DH because there is no denying that he can still rake, draw walks, and get on base. i would choose a player who plays almost everyday over a guy who plays every 5th day.

Answer 4

I'd rather have Clemens then put him on the DL so he wouldn't be able to play...

Answer 5

I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD RIGHT HANDED PITCHERS OUT THERE SO ROGER COULD EASILY BE REPLACED THIS LATE IN HIS CAREER. AS FOR BARRY HIS KNEES WERE SHOT BUT HE PLAYED MORE THAN CLEMENS AND IF HE WOULD DH HE COULD BE AN EVERYDAY PLAYER. PLUS BARRY WAS A LEFT HANDED BAT. I GO WITH BARRY

Answer 6

Roger Clemens  

Answer 7

Bonds.  When is he getting out of federal prison anyway?  Oh thats right, he isnt even there.  Why are people saying he did steroids then?  I thought they had alot of proof?  IF we ran our legal system like the citizens of this country treat Barry Bonds, there would be about 3 people walking around the streets.  Untill they prove the guy has done steroids and they send him to prison, he is 100% innocent in my eyes and is the best player of all time.  Hands down

Answer 8

Clemons was one of the greatest pitchers of all time. All other considerations aside (Pete Rose, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Barry Bonds, et al), the fact that Clemens played on the U.S.A team for the last world championships (we lost to Japan) says that he loved the game.

I'd go for that.  

Answer 9

That's Easy Barry he has to be the most feared player in history

Answer 10

If I absolutely HAD to pick one, I'd say Clemens. And the only reason I say this, is because I think he has a better personality than Bonds.

Bonds is very self-centered, and only cares about himself ( I believe we all know that by now) But you would hear about Clemens mentoring younger pitchers, and being a great clubhouse presence, something I dont think Barry was.

Answer 11

If I have to... Roger Clemens.

Answer 12

I will do the same thing as Cleveland Rocks, get one put him on the DL or bench him.
