Finally, a bat after Barry
The Chronicle’s Henry Schulman and John Shea report that Moises Alou is coming to the Giants: The Giants are planning to give their manager a Christmas present: his son, wrapped in a San Francisco uniform.
The club has reached an agreement with free-agent outfielder Moises Alou on a two-year contract that will not be finalized until he passes a physical on Monday, two sources told The Chronicle on Wednesday. Alou would shift from left field to right and join Barry Bonds and Marquis Grissom in one of oldest outfields in major-league history. This should be just what the Giants need, specifically in the fifth slot after Bonds. The younger Alou last played for his father in Montreal from 1992-96.
