Honestly I'd rather have Gagne....But thats just because I know he could handle it if hes healthy. Otsuka scares me for some reason.
I get that, but I really don't want to be giving up some good prospects to get him. The price for his is going to sky rocket, with basically every team in a race or leading their division wanting to get him. We all know how these Yankees/Red Sox bidding wars go, now add the Mets, Dodgers, Padres, Angels, Tigers, Braves and the Indians to mix. He would be the best bullpen arm on the market. His price will be double or more than what he is worth. Otsuka is decent, cheap and can bolster up the 7th inning role so Procter can worry about the 8th. Farnsworth isn't capable of pitching. -Jitpal
