이 놈의 무한자신감은 어디서 나오는건지....

Takashi Saito became a free agent Friday night when the Dodgers opted not to tender the former All-Star closer a contract because of concerns about his elbow.

The Dodgers also non-tendered shortstop Angel Berroa, relievers Scott Proctor and Yhency Brazoban, and minor league pitcher Mario Alvarez.

Saito, 38, saved 81 games in his three seasons with the Dodgers and figured to get a significant raise from his 2008 salary of $2 million in arbitration, for which he was eligible for the first time. That was a risk the Dodgers didn't want to take, not with Saito having missed two months last season because of a partially torn ligament in his elbow. The club offered an incentive-laden one-year deal that was declined.

The Dodgers can still re-sign Saito, whom they signed to a minor league contract before the 2006 season.

"The door's still open," Dodgers General Manager Ned Colletti said.

Saito's agent, Nez Balelo, said Saito is also open to continuing talks with the Dodgers.

"We're definitely going to keep the Dodgers in mind," Balelo said. "But we are also looking forward to the opportunity Takashi has to enter the free-agent market."

Saito's potential departure leaves 24-year-old Jonathan Broxton as the top candidate to be the Dodgers' closer.

But the Dodgers aren't entirely convinced Broxton can handle the role -- "He's shown signs he can do it and he's shown signs he's not ready to do it yet," Colletti said -- and have expressed an interest in signing Trevor Hoffman. Colletti also named left-hander Hong-Chih Kuo as an internal candidate to replace Saito if he signs elsewhere.

Colletti said the Dodgers are interested in re-signing Berroa, who started at shortstop when Rafael Furcal was hurt. Brazoban and Alvarez could be re-signed to minor league deals.
사이토의 에이전트가 라이언 브론의 에이전트인 Nez Balelo로 바뀌었군요.
근대 이 무슨 무한자신감이랄까요? 사이토는 물론이고, 베로아와 브라조반, 알바레즈도 계약 할거 같다는군요. 더군다나 브라조반은 부상만 완치된다면-아니 로또심정으로 그를 충분히 영입할 구단이 있어보이는데도- 분명 눈똑들일 구단이 있는데도....
이미 틀어진거, 처음처럼 높은 인센티브로 계약을 추진하는 한편 호프만에게 찝적대자...콜레티!!
또 하나 추가하면 폭풍 5타수 5삼진의 렙코를 안짜른거....기억해두겠어-0-
프락터는 딴팀갈듯....
근대 쿼홍치가 마무리가 될 수 있나요? 하루 던지면 하루는 쉬어야 하는 팔 가지고 내부 마무리 후보라니...참!!
