I was watching the latest Ken Burns episode of "Baseball", and thinking regarding the Barry Bonds stuff, "Hey if there were any collusion in keeping Bonds out of baseball...at least the Sox can say they didn't have a spot for him."

However, let's say instead of trading Ramirez for Bay...there was a can't miss 2007 prospect available. In this alternate history let's presume that Madison Bumgarner is available via three way trade and that he had enough cred for everyone to see as nearly can't miss.

so the question is, how would you all have felt in 2008 if the Sox had traded Ramirez for Bumgarner and signed Barry Bonds to play in front of the Green Monster?
