The thought has crossed my mind a few times, even before the Alou injury. Bonds has dealt with media pressure before so I don't think that will be an issue. The Mets have enough stars too that Bonds can probably just go off and do his own thing without ruffling as many feathers as he did in San Fran where he was the man. Worst case, if he's a disaster you just pay him the rest of the contract and send him home. If it gets that bad then the team might actually rally once he's gone.
