Saito/Broxton

The rock solid closer, Takashi Saito of the Dodgers, blew a save by allowing 3ER's against the Pirates. As with every year, Saito has a strong and almost comparable set-up man waiting for Saito to falter. J. Broxton is throwing smoke this season, 12K's in 6.1 innings, and is ready to take the closer role permanently.

Owners of Saito should grab Broxton, if they haven't already, just in case there is a change in closers. At this point in time, one blown save amounts to nothing especially with the record and history Saito has over the past 3 years. Even if there is no change in closers Broxton is a great pitcher to have on your team to lower your ERA/WHIP and provide a nice boost in K's. Owners, shouldn't panic but adding Broxton is something you should do but with Broxton's stats, he'll most likely be on someone else's roster.
