A hidden dent in Frank Thomas’s value?

First, I'll say that this article was not meant to be about Barry Bonds at all.

Next, I'll say that perhaps "evidence" was a poor choice of words.

 I'd then direct you to a quote from this article: "assuming they are colluding against Bonds, which I am not passing judgment on one way or the other."

 I'd then point you towards this article by John Brittain: http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/those-who-do-not-learn-from-history/ if you are interested in Barry Bonds stuff.

I'd then say that if I believed this were true, the fact that a guy with Barry's talent (10.29 RC/27 last year, just one of many numbers I could reference) has yet to receive a single contract offer would lend a lot of credence to the theory.  Now that Thomas has been signed, why did he get snatched up so quickly and drew interest from 4 teams while Bonds has been waiting around all winter despite being less talented than Bonds and also seen as a clubhouse problem?

Again, not voicing an opinion one way or the other, but I would say there that is some "evidence," given some peoples' definition of the word.  Again, though, a better word could have been chosen.

My apologies.
