Rays lose Carl Crawford for 6 weeks – will Barry Bonds receive a call?

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Carl Crawford will undergo surgery to repair a torn tendon band in his right hand. He’ll likely miss the rest of the regular season, but the club believes Crawford could return in six weeks and play in the postseason if the Rays make it.

The question now is, will the Rays reach out to Barry Bonds?

During a Giants’ game last week, Bonds told San Francisco play by play announcers Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper that he was, “not retired” and wanted to still play in 2008. Bonds also noted that his legs are fresh and that he was healthier than he was last year.

Even though he could add pop to the Rays’ lineup, Bonds isn’t worth the trouble. A young team like Tampa doesn’t need to deal with the media circus that Bonds would bring to the clubhouse on a daily basis and while it’s unfortunate that they now have a whole in their outfield, maybe another veteran like Kenny Loften would be a better option than Bonds.
