What a glorious day for Atlanta Braves fans. Derek Lowe and Kawakami in the same day! My how our rotation will look different
1. Hudson (when he's healthy)
2. Lowe
3. Jurjens
4. Kawakami
5. Vazquez
It's not the Yankees but not too shabby.
Does anyone have any info on Kawakami? I have seen his youtube video, seen his stats from Japan, but not sure about his pitches, etc.

Gentleman, it's Derek Lowe, not a decent starter (like, say Johan Santana).
As I told Elliot, 3 Words: Derek. Lowe. Face.
True, I hope the Braves can somehow compete with the likes of the National.
This from: http://www.nationalsclub.com/news/washington-nationals-notes-quotes-1577.php
"RHP Daniel Cabrera officially signed with the Nationals on Dec. 29, after the former Oriole passed a physical that included an MRI of his right shoulder and right elbow. Cabrera, who will make $2.6 million this season, was non-tendered by Baltimore after going 8-12 with a 5.50 ERA in 2008."
"RHP Jason Bergmann likely will have an even tougher time making the rotation this spring now that the team has signed RHP Daniel Cabrera."
Now THAT'S a pitching staff!
One problem: No Huddy in '09.
I do like it though. I've read that Kawakami is like Kuroda with a couple more K's.
And the best news? These innings-eaters will spare the abuse of Tommy Hanson, et al... However,I fear it may already be too late for Mr Jurrjens.
