"Some digging on Gagne and steroids IS the issue. Has had a checkered medical past throughout career including minor leagues. Lacks the poise and commitment to stay healthy, maintain body and re invent self. What made him a tenacious closer was the max effort plus stuff . . . Mentality without the plus weapons and without steroid help probably creates a large risk in bounce back durability and ability to throw average while allowing the changeup to play as it once did . . .

I'll take DL for $500 Alex.
He will do very nicely in the 7th inning role.
On paper this bullpen looks strong with the Riskey, Torres and Gagne additions, but then I am reminded we still have Turnbow.
I'll go for the 43. We deserve it!
I quote the Mitchell Report:

Ah I will guess the DL is not to far off
