I don't mind signing Alfonzo for depth, but I'm awfully skeptical of him playing 2nd base. He's hasn't played there since 2001 (almost exclusively a 3rd baseman since) and hasn't been a strong fielder his whole career. Furthermore, he just doesn't have ANY power in his swing anymore... it was evident last season and very obvious this year with Anaheim (5 hits in 50 AB, with 1 RBI and 1 run scored).
I think he's a decent option to have playing in Syracuse, but he's not the answer to the middle infield problem.
