Christmas Miracle?
ESPNews is reporting that Steve Finley has been traded to San Francisco.
UPDATE: It's for Edgardo Alfonzo, straight-up.
UPDATE: RotoWorld corroborates.
FIRST REACTION: Not good. I'm fine with it as a simple swap of bench warming albatrosses, but with some of the swipes that have been taken at McPherson this offseason, I get the sinking feeling that Stoneman sees Alfonzo (and his pathetic SLG) as an actual contributor (perhaps in a platoon?). And the Angels get nothing in way of payroll relief, as both are owed $8m.
I'm not unhappy to see Steve Finley gone. But it's hard to dance with joy at the prospect of Edgardo Alfonzo getting 300+ at-bats.
