If Bonds is gone...

Who can the Giants pick-up at this stage to fortify their offense?

I think that the way to do it is to trade for a player with big contract in a salary dump by a team with expendable hitters.

Any names come to mind?

Richie Sexson (owed 2 years for 28 M$) or Ben Broussard (second arbie year at 3.5M$ or so)

I'm still having trouble seeing why the Giants wouldn't pick up Bonds for one final year.

Bonds deal should be finalized pretty soon. I think they are just waiting for him to take and pass a physical.

Barry Bonds arrived in San Francisco to take his physical Monday, one of the final steps in completing his deal with the Giants.

It's been more than seven weeks since the Giants and Bonds originally agreed to a one-year deal worth $15.8 million. Assuming that he passes his physical, it looks like the contract will be finalized this week.
