For much, much less than $10 million, the Milwaukee Brewers could possibly see Eric Gagne throwing in Miller Park again this year. They signed him to a minor league deal, and he will be used as insurance in case of injury. Gagne had a rough go of it last year, going 4-3 with a mediocre 5.44 ERA. What the numbers don’t say is how well the man turned it around in the final stretches of the season. In September, Gagne had a 3.09 ERA, and in the Postseason, all he gave up was 1 hit in 2.0 innings pitched, so he certainly showed the capability of being a solid middle reliever. As long as he accepts the fact that his 98MPH fastball is not coming back, this deal could prove to be very valuable for Milwaukee in the stretch run.

At this point I would not mind if they brought Gagne back. They have nothing to loose. It’s possible he could find his grove and help the Brewers this year and next. Or not…

Oh man…we’re lucky to have a great, future HOF closer in Trevor Hoffman now!

Looking back at this makes me laugh a bit, Eric Gagne was a bust!
