3) Alfonzo to the Cub for Kerry Wood who makes $12M in 2006 with a $3M buyout for 2007.


Dave:

Steve Bartman is going to have a new roommate if Jim Hendry ever makes that deal. 'sides, their current third baseman is costing them a fortune and returning them nearly as much.

I do think you're onto something with your concept of Alfonzo for another team's bloated starting pitcher contract, but the Giants will likely have to assume a lot more than one year and eight million dollars (their commitment to Alfonzo) and the pitcher they would acquire will probably makes us wish for Brett Tomko.
