Warning Track Power: Saito Later?

With Hisashi Iwakuma and Tsuyoshi Nishioka getting most of the spotlight these days, there is one Japanese free agent, who already has major-league experience, that rarely gets the attention he deserves: Takashi Saito. Born on February 14, 1970 in Miyagi, Japan, Saito first saw action in the major leagues at the ripe age of 36 as the Los Angeles Dodgers’ closer. Since that masterful 2006 season, the former Yokohama Baystar has been good for at least 47 innings of (usually) excellent relief work per season.
