		<description>Won&#039;t Mike Piazza bring in fans as well?  There&#039;s a difference between bringing in fans and bringing in baggage and distractions.

I honestly think Tampa is trying to build a competetive team, though I know they&#039;re trying to do so against the likes of Boston and New York.  Still, Bonds is not what this team needs.</description>

		<description>C&#039;mon guys.  We all know the Rays goal isn&#039;t to win :D

In all seriousness, they got screwed by being dropped into the AL East when they entered the league.  

If they are concentrating on bringing in fans, maybe Bonds is a good idea, or at least one to discuss.  

Lofton or Piazza would be nice additions if they want to compete.  Is this the last team Lofton hasn&#039;t played for?  :P</description>

		<description>But can&#039;t they do so much better than Bonds and not have Barnum and Bailey following them for 162 games?

I know Bonds will bring fans to the game, but for all the wrong reasons.  Why not bring in a Kenny Lofton or Mike Piazza, guys that can give you veteran leadership and still give you something offensively?</description>

		<description>Todd,

I think a team like Tampa Bay needs a side-show like Bonds to get people to go to the game. Nice article!</description>
