Marlins' Golf Classic yields powerful photo-op with Giancarlo Stanton and Barry Bonds
Today is the Miami Marlins' annual Jack McKeon Marlins Celebrity Golf Classic in Key Biscayne, Florida.
To publicize the day's festivities, the team's Twitter account has been sharing some photos snapped at Crandon Golf, including this striking image of Giancarlo Stanton and new Marlins hitting coach Barry Bonds:

"So much power" is right, considering those two have 943 career home runs between them.
Bonds and Dee Gordon also posted for a quick photo-op:

Looks like a fun way for Bonds, Mattingly and other new Marlins personnel to get to know the team ahead of spring training later this week.

As for what the club might expect with Bonds on as hitting instructor, Gordon was quoted recently by Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald as looking forward to how he might work with Stanton:
With Bonds and Mattingly joining forces this season in Miami, the franchise is obviously interested in moving forward and becoming a consistent threat in the NL East.
