So, as I know next to nothing about this Kenshin Kawakami person (other than that he's a pitcher and, apparently, Asian), I haven't thrown my two cents into the mix as of yet. I watched the video over at the Redbird Blog though, and decided that maybe it wouldn't be so bad to get a piece of this guy. (He's got a pretty nasty-looking curveball.)
Rumor has it that the BoSox offered 3-years/$21 million way back in November, but that may or may not be the case. I guess I wouldn't be averse to 3-years/$30 million, but much more than that might be stretching it. Of course, signing him would eliminate the need for Pettitte, but I think I could find a way to live with that.
