I'm going to bump this, as a serious possibility for the 09 rotation. MLBTR (yeah, yeah) predicts the Sox signing him in their Top 50 FA's feature, so I figure its worth discussing. He's already 33 years old. His career numbers are: 103-67, 3.29 ERA, 1216 K/326 BB. All of that being in Japan of course.
Interesting?
