Lastings Milledge or Takashi Saito?

USATODAY.com Chat Transcript:

"Port Chester, NY: Salaries things being equal, who would you rather have in an NL-only 4x4 league for the next two seasons, Lastings Milledge or Takashi Saito? For just 2008?

Steve Gardner: It's easy to overlook the fact that Saito turns 38 this week because he's only been in MLB for a couple seasons. I'd take my chances with Milledge over the next two seasons, but with the adjustment period he'll have in Washington (and the lack of a definite starting spot) I'd go with Saito for this season only. The Dodgers could be ready to turn the closer job over to Jonathan Broxton or Jonathan Meloan in 2009."
