Former Marlins president David Samson called Barry Bonds's one-year stint as the franchise's hitting coach was a "complete disaster."
During an appearance on The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz, Samson explained on Thursday that he didn't want to hire Bonds, saying he was “not worth the squeeze.” But, he was overruled by former owner Jeffrey Loria.
"He had fun as a hitting coach because he would hang out with [Giancarlo] Stanton and give Stanton some pointers. But he was ineffective, completely," Samson said. "He would sleep in the clubhouse. He would not pay attention during games.
