Sox to sign another Japanese pitcher?

So say some of the reports.

This one is differnet in that the pitcher, Junichi Tazawa, is only 22 years old and likely to start in the minors.

It's not just encouraging to see the Red Sox obtain another player that can help the team who is essentially a free agent. It's reported they didn't put in the highest bid for Tazawa. So it's nice to find out that they may be doing it in large part due to their success in obtaining Dice-K and their ability to develop pitchers and other players.
