RonHarperFan said:Everyone damns Bonds for how big he got over 15-20 years. David Arias was not a big guy when he debuted either. He may have been a lousy hitter and something clicked in Boston. Or he could have spent the 2002 offseason steroid cycling his ass off, trying to get stronger since the Twins had just cut him. Still, he has a nice swing for Fenway.
I think a lot of it really had to do with not having to worry about playing defense anymore. If you are a poor defensive player, even while playing first base, then that is a worry. But, if you are moved to DH, you don't have to worry about your defense until interleague play.
