Braves interested in Saito?
"Former Dodgers closer Takashi Saito has drawn interest from eight major league teams, according to a report on NPB Tracker.
The website that tracks Japanese players lists the White Sox, Cubs, Braves and Mets as among the suitors for Saito, who finished last season in Boston. The Red Sox declined a $6 million option on Saito for 2010.
Saito could be a fit with the White Sox if GM Kenny Williams is indeed intent on moving closer Bobby Jenks, who is eligible for arbitration. "
From ESPN.com's "Rumors" section.
I just hope that the other 7 teams reportedly interested in him don't drive the price way up, and if they do, I hope we have the intelligence to just back down. No closer is worth wasting millions on, IMO.

I like the idea
But if they do get Saito, I really hope they sign someone else for an insurance policy.
he's no less risky than Wagner...
but I do agree that I’d like to see 2, if not 3, signings capable of handling late inning work with Moylan, among possible others on the roster.
I know wagner is a risky choice too
But like I said before, Wren would be making a huge mistake if he signs an injury proned reliever and thinks the bullpen will be fine.

I’d like Wren to explore as many buy-low, high-upside late innings bullpen arms as his budget allows.

I was thinking the exact same thing earlier today when I was looking at the FA relievers.

You heard it here first…?
