Does anyone miss Barry Bonds?

Mark Purdy of the Mercury News apparently does not. He's just sitting in front of his monitor waiting for The Barry Bonds Trial to begin (among other things).

Barry Bonds: 15 felony counts

Feds unveil new indictment against Barry Bonds

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Barry Bonds was charged in a new indictment Tuesday with 15 felony counts alleging he lied to a grand jury when he denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs and that he hampered the federal government's doping investigation.

The career home run leader originally was indicted in November by a federal grand jury on four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice.

Following a motion by Bonds' lawyers to dismiss the case, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston in February ordered prosecutors to rewrite the indictment because multiple alleged lies were lumped into single charges.

On Tuesday, a grand jury handed up a superseding indictment charging Bonds with 14 counts of making false declarations to a grand jury in 2003 and one count of obstruction of justice. No new lies were alleged.

Player's Union: concerns and more concerns

Union express concern over lack of offers to Barry Bonds

By RONALD BLUM, AP Baseball Writer

NEW YORK (AP)—The players’ association has expressed concern to the baseball commissioner’s office over the lack of offers to Barry Bonds, asking for additional information about the offseason’s free-agent market.

The union did not go as far as to file a collusion grievance on behalf of the 43-year-old outfielder, who remains unsigned since the San Francisco Giants decided not to make him an offer last year and he became a free agent.

“We’ve raised both general concerns and some player specific concerns,” Michael Weiner, the union’s general counsel, said Tuesday.
