Braves looking at LHSP from Japan

[General]

According to FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal, the Braves are targeting Japanese left-hander Kei Igawa to bolster their rotation.
Interesting. If the Braves want to spend money on a starter, Tom Glavine could be theirs for the taking. However, it's been assumed that they'd rather focus elsewhere, as they have Mike Hampton coming back to join John Smoltz, Tim Hudson, Chuck James, Horacio Ramirez and Kyle Davies. If they land Igawa, it could be a sign that Hudson will be traded. Igawa is expected to be posted by the Hanshin Tigers after going 13-9 with a 3.11 ERA this season. The Dodgers and Mariners are among the other teams that could pursue him.

I'm intruiged.

Of course the dodgers and mariners are interested in him.
