Last night on ESPN's "Baseball Tonight", Peter Gammons was telling the story of the Blue Jays releasing Frank Thomas.
Gammons relayed to us that Thomas was unhappy about his playing time and Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi was unhappy about having someone unhappy, so he sent Frankie packing.
Great, good inside info, until....
Gammons says that he doesn't know where Thomas will find work because....
"If Barry Bonds can't find work, how ill Thomas find work?"
Note to Pete: The difference is BAGGAGE.
Barry Bonds comes along with an INDICTMENT and a MEDIA CIRCUS. Who would want that? Thats why Barroid is unemployed.
Thomas does come with a history of whining, but it's better than what Barroid brings.
The challenge for Thomas is to find a team that will fit his needs. Those teams are scarce right now.
UPDATE 4/25/08: Frank Thomas signs with Oakland, Barry Bonds still unemployed.
Good call, Pete.

There is no requirement for brain activity in broadcasters these days, just looks, personality and good diction. Anyone with brain is a writer.
