Roll the Dice on Rafael Furcal

What are the odds that the Buccos would even consider this? As much as I like Jack Wilson, and think he should be brought back, this would mean Furcal would be a highly motivated player in a contract year just when the 2011 team might be able to go all in for a playoff run. Plus, Wilson would be good bait for a team not willing to throw a contract at Furcal. And .... he's not a Type A, so the Buccos keep the draft pick.
8:35pm: According to Jeff Passan, Furcal has been offered many three-year deals, but he wants a four-year contract. Furcal's agent, Paul Kinzer confirmed that the Orioles, Braves, Giants, Cubs, Dodgers and A's are interested, along with one unnamed "mystery" team. (Courtesy of mlbtraderumors.com)
