I don't think your recollection of his arm is correct. It wasn't plus, but it was most certainly a threat when combined with his coverage.

Also, when he was on steroids, he was bad in the outfield.

So pick, the guy who didn't hit a lot of home runs and was good in the field and on the bases, but couldn't throw or the guy who hit home runs and couldn't do much else.
Ah yes, the Sid Bream throw...that was a given. As far as the Glaus double...not sure what that showcases other than a great hit from Glaus.

Regardless, if you're of the mindset that Bonds could only hit home runs and not much else, it's not worth the discussion.
