You're all probably thinking, "I can read Rotoworld, too." But I thought I'd say this anyway. It looks like the Sox are contenders to acquire Takashi Saito, but how do yall feel about this?

I think it's a good move, the guy has been a great closer for the Dodgers for the last few years. I guess it all depends on what kind of contract he was offered, though, because he did spend time on the D.L. last year and he will be turning 39 just before Spring Training. Would it be worth, if only for Oki to have a buddy?

Yes please.

He could be very good for us.

I especially like this blurb from rotoworld: “he’d be under control for three years even after being given a one-year deal.”

Manny ain't the only bad man.

Depends

on how healthy he is. Saito wasnt very impressive when he came back in 08.

He's kinda old.

Oh god, I sound like NG.
