Those Who Care About Baseball Should Protest the “Blacklisting” of Barry Bonds!

Here’s my computed Run Production Averages (RPA) for the top 27 hitters in Major League baseball in the 2007 season (minimum 400 computed plate appearances, as per RPA method). My method shows the season adjusted value of each plate appearance in terms of the runs produced by that batter per the RPA formula that I previously described in my Mike Gimbel’s Baseball Player and Team Ratings 1995 (Mike Gimbel’s Baseball Player and Team Ratings):

Barry Bonds has been accused of not telling the truth to a Grand Jury investigating BALCO. Barry Bonds does not own BALCO and does not distribute steroids on behalf of BALCO. Why was the Grand Jury investigating Barry Bonds? Weren’t they supposed to be investigating BALCO? How did that “investigation” of BALCO turn into a witch-hunt directed against MLB players? Clearly, BALCO wasn’t the real target in the racist campaign against Barry Bonds.
