>>>>having watched Barry for seven years he is a decent fellow.<<<<

Everything I get my hands on says he is a full fledged turd in the clubhouse.....Sprots Illustrated did a piece on him, Kent has spoken about him...some guy flew out to SF to interview him, gave him three days and he blew the guy off. He speaks very little to the press and when in Milwaukee for the All Star game was a perfect dick, left after he played, which was one of the reasons they were not able to finish the game...many guys simply left early....but then again, he could be a good guy.

I'm not going to nominate Bonds for sainthood, he pissed me off when he didn't shake his teammates' hands before game six of the Series last year. It's important, though, to get some facts straight.
Bonds could definitely handle the press better, but his beef with them goes back to the way they treated his father back in the 70s. Jeff Kent doesn't win any Mr. Congeniality contests either. Also, Bonds was already removed from the All-Star Game when it was called. He was ineligible to go back into the game. His departure had nothing to do with the outcome. The problem was that Torre and Brenly ran out of pitchers, not position players.

Kent has spoken about him

Kent is even less liked by teammates than is Bonds.
