I'd take Barry Bonds. He's still one of the best hitters in the game. As a DH in a deep lineup, he'd hit 30+ HR, knock in 100+ runs and hit at least .270 with an OBA in excess of .400. If he's desperate enough to continue playing (so that he can reach 3,000 hits), maybe he would accept short money from a mediocre to bad team. If I'm the GM of the Oakland A's, Kansas City Royals, Baltimore Orioles or Tampa Bay Devil Rays, I'd sign him for 1 year/$5 million. He'd boost local attendance and push an otherwise uncompetitive team into respectability.
