Gagne is a shell of his former self. Anyone who thinks otherwise must be a die hard Sox fan. HOoray for the city of Boston, whose Celts also took someone who is on the decline of a very nice career. (and I thought it was the city I live in that only did this kind of stuff
)

When your starters only have to go 5, possibly 6 innings before you can give the ball to 3 or 4 of the best relievers this year, it is not a bad situation. Atlanta made the best moves this trading season, but Boston got a guy that helps the team, and makes a good bullpen even better. Also, who cares about Basketball? ![]() |

If your starters only go 5 and 6 innings a game. I'd be worry about overuse of the bullpen.
Gagne is already known for his health problems his entire career.

Gagne Okajima Timlin Delcarmen Lopez I am not really worried about overuse. If Gagne pitched two nights in a row, then you can use Timlin to give a break, or Delcarmen. Gagne and Papelbon won't see more then an inning a game, and they don't have to, and won't pitch every game. Knowing Schilling only has to give 5 or 6 good innings a start is a comfort. Same for Wakefield. Trust me, they won't be taking out Beckett or Matsuzaka in the 5th or 6th if they are throwing great, but if there stuff is starting to get hit, why not give it over if you have the arms, and fresh arms. |
