Transaction Oracle— A Timely Look at Transactions as They Happen

Florida Marlins - Signed Alfonseca, Jones
Florida Marlins - Signed P Antonio Alfonseca to a 2-year contract; signed P Todd Jones to a 1-year contract.
The Alfonseca contract is $4.75 million, so this is comparable to the Sox signing of Hermanson. How many ways can one say “mediocre reliever, overpriced?” Just cut and paste the Sox comment, add a joke about extra fingers, and mention that Miracle Mazzone isn’t coming to town, too. Todd Jones is mediocre, at apparently a lower price than Alfonseca. Florida’s a gay marriage ban state, so that should make Jones happy. Yes, I notice the ZiPS similarity.

1. Eugene FreedmanYou need to fix the extra finger adjustment statistic.
Seriously, I wish nothing but badness on Alfonseca. He was a train wreck for the Cubs in 2003, and not only that, but a train wreck who whined when Borowski supplanted him as closer.
Again, this kept the Mets from screwing this up.
Jones may freak when he sees how queer Alfonseca's hands are....
"You have six fingers on your right hand, someone was looking for you."
I was impressed with your ability to churn out Goodnight Moon entirely from memory - I am the same way with The Princess Bride
