Signing Saito and Wagner are good moves. Now if we can just finish the time machine and go back to 2005.
Just kidding. I like each pitcher at those salaries for one year but wouldn't have signed both at the same time, not after their recent injury trouble. Healthy, they should do well. Both have excellent makeups for key bullpen roles.
Let me toss out a wild card here. If they didn't want to spend a lot on a reliever and age and arm problems were not disqualifiers, why not ink a little fellow named John Smoltz? Is that bridge burned, bagged and tossed?
Atlanta could have spent more on the position, either bringing in a free agent or resigning either Soriano or Gonzalez. Trading for a closer was possible, as the Bravos have the depth at starter to land a big gun for the bullpen. Bobby Jenks of the White Sox comes to mind.
More likely they'll use that starter chip to land offense, particularly with Adam LaRoche unlikely to return. How about a little fellow named Adam Dunn? His defense might make Bobby Cox gag but 40 homers is hard to argue with.
Nick Johnson might be a reasonable pickup at first base. He can hit but may not have enough power for the Braves' needs.
Whaddaya think?
