Junichi Tazawa

So it's rather obvious that the Cubs need some pitching help. Mainly in the middle relief.

Rumors have the Cubs in the lead for Japanese pitcher Junichi Tazawa. Tazawa throws a mid-90s fastball, a 12-6 overhand curveball and a split-finger fastball as part of his repertoire.

My personal opinion is get rid of Marquis and sign Tazawa. The guy has darn good stuff and is worth the risk. Plus it wouldn't hurt for the Cubs to have a fellow Japanese player on the roster for Fukudome.
