Saito to close this week

Takashi Saito is close to working back-to-back days for the Dodgers, which means he could return to the closer role by the middle of the coming week. That's what Joe Torre wants, even if Jonathan Broxton has filled in with remarkable ability.

"I think [Saito's] more emotionally equipped for that because he's done it," Torre said. "That's been his primarily role. I'm comfortable with Brox, but again, once Saito gets there, we have a little more length. Brox, I think, has done a fine job in the closer's spot."

Unless Saito gives them false confidence and then relapses after his right elbow problem, the Dodgers really can't go wrong here. Two closers cannot be a bad thing, especially with the consistency these two have shown.

Fantasy Impact: For Broxton owners, this couldn't happen at a worse time. It's championship week, and Saito might take a few saves away from a guy that's closed 14 of 16 opportunities. Hopefully you own them both and pick the right guy on the right day.
