It all depends on your definition of "prime". The player Bonds was becoming as a Pirate before he beefed up (and I'm not going to speculate what he did) was a 5 tool player. He could hit, hit for power, run, had a good (I won't say great) arm, and was a very good fielder. After beefing up he lost a lot of speed and seemed to lose his touch in the OF.
