Will Barry Bonds play professional baseball in 2008?
Current forecast: 13% chance 
Combining all predictions, the current forecast is that this is 13% likely to happen (unchanged in last 1 day)
Reports that Federal prosecutors have unveiled a revamped indictment against Barry Bonds were a timely reminder that the home run leader still exists and is still unemployed.
Like I have said before, it saddens me that Bonds remains jobless. We are being deprived of a great story and the controversy/pantomime that a Bonds return would undoubtedly entail.
So what are the chances that I will get my wish and when is it likely to happen?
Before the All-star Break?
All-Star break of the 2008 season?
Hubdub says “unlikely” with “No” at 70%. This percentage looks likely to trickle up over the next two months in the absence of any rumored interest in Bonds in the short term.
At any stage in 2008?
This surprises me. Hubdub puts Bonds playing in the Major Leagues in 2008 at 55% as of May 15th. I would imagine that the logic underlying this percentage is that some contending team looking for offensive help will ignore the federal indictments and the distractions and offer Bonds a job.
But 50-50? I for one hope so, but at those odds, I’d opt for No.
