Saito out for at least six weeks

This means if Broxton can't get the job done in the 9th inning (he is 0 for 5 in save opportunities thus far this season), I expect a panic-induced trade similar to the one Lasorda was so proud of himself for making: Paul Konerko for Jeff Shaw. Knowing Ned, he'll probably sell the farm for Damaso Marte (and then sell Marte a year later for Brandon Inge) or listen to Steak's advice on a board somewhere and getting Terry Mulholland back.

*********!! Right when my prediction of the Dodgers winning the West, Saito has to go down and hard. Torre will find a way or Colletti will sell the farm for someone to close like Street or Fuentes.

I'm not sure that there's much attractive bait in the farm anymore outside of Kershaw and James McDonald, thanks to LaRoche and Chin-Lung Hu sucking balls during their time in the big leagues. It reminds of the Giants' situation when Jesse Foppert, Jerome Williams, and Kurt Ainsworth all flopped.

See if Saito has any friends overseas that would like to come and pitch.
