"We're just adding depth," Melvin said.


That is a classic. So if he bombs they were just adding 'depth'. If he is good, Melvin can claim to be a genius. Gagne of 4 years ago was worth every penny. Gagne of last year....not so much.

For $10 million, Gagne can buy lots of those goofy glasses he wears.

As Astros fan, can't wait for him to enter game in 9th inning at Minute Maid Park!

Thats worse. At least with a one year contract you can close the door after one season.

Default No TV's in Milwaukee

The greenback has taken brutal hit this year. Consequently, the cost of one lousy Canadian is through the roof of the igloo this winter. Eric Gagne is half the pitcher that he was five years ago but still 100% better than any reliever the Brewers had last year, home to the worst bullpen in baseball. As an aside, among those knuckle-draggers in Milwaukee, this bespeckled hump will actually be considered "rakishly handsome". I think it's a perfect fit.
