Just a comparison here, considering I traded Bonds for Burnitz (and a couple of good pitchers) that I thought everyone would find intersting, especially after his monumental accomplishment. Both played 40 games for me, with equal PA's, Burnitz getting 35-32 RS, 24 more hits, 13-3 2B's, 17-12 HR's, 55-32 RBI's. I traded Barry b/c of my frustration in the bat being taken out of his hands, and it looks like I was right. I know this affects his sim value, and this might be an isolated instance, but it surprised me. Now I know why it frustrates the Giants in real life!
