Re: Éric Gagné as a starter
Gagne was not very good as a starter with the Dodgers earlier in his career.
With his elbow and shoulder issues, not to mention the fact that he can't seem to pitch one inning without giving up a run or two i seriousley doubt that this will last very long.Comment

Re: Éric Gagné as a starter
The guy had 1 season with a 5.44 era (the worst in his 9 years)...and even then hitters were only hitting .258 against him and he is done ???
Gagné had health problems...
I believe he will be back.
And don't start with the Mitchell Report thing ..it's pretty obvious that most MLB players are juicing.Comment

Re: Éric Gagné as a starter
He allowed 46 hits in 46.1 innings to go along with 22 BBs. That on the heals on his 18 inning stint in Boston in which he allowed 26 hits and 9 BBs. Opponents slugged .494 and posted an .839 OPS off of him in Milwaukee while he posted his worst strikeout rate and K/BB ratios since going to the bullpen. Furthermore, actually watching the man pitch revealed that his fastball had little life and he lacked any sort of command with any of his pitches. He was almost totally at the whim of the elements and his defense to catch the numerous amounts of flyballs he was allowing (of which 11 cleared the fence). The guy had a nice peak (albeit chemically enhanced) but his days as a legit Major League pitcher are over.Last edited by Misfit; 05-28-2009, 07:38 PM.Comment

Re: Éric Gagné as a starter
I don't get how he was back to his dominant self in Texas and then just completely lost it again.Comment

Re: Éric Gagné as a starter
Probably because he did not want to go to Boston because he did not want to be a setup man, he only wanted to close. He didn't get his way and he allowed it to affect the way he pitched.Comment

Re: Éric Gagné as a starter
I think Eric's done. He had a good run though, that's for sure.
I know how Boston and Milwaukee fans felt when they brought him in. It's like, "well, we lose". I feel this way when I see Boof Bonser waddle his way to the mound.Comment
