A couple Barry Bonds statistics, stolen from Baseball Prospectus:

-He's hitting .341/.386/.707 (AVG/OBP/SLG) with an 0-2 count. The NL is hitting .194/.235/.303 in this situation. So he could conceivably swing at the first 2 pitches when someone tries to intentionally walk him and try to see if opposing managers want to face him then...

-He has an .825 OBP with a 2-0 count. (Much of this is due to intentional walks, but .825 is still .825!)
