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.
