Guardado would be the perfect pickup. Foulke could be used strictly for save situations and wouldn't have to keep coming in when the game is tied, or when we're behind, even. Eddie can pitch to both left and right handed hitters.

The only thing I'm worried about is how much we would have to give up to acquire Guardado. In a perfect world they would take Kelly Shoppach and one of our second or third tier prospects, perhaps Chip Ambres. I don't think they would go for that however, so I think it will take Shoppach and either Papelbon or Lester. For that price, I'm just not sure if it's worth it long term.
