The question is whether there is any reason to think he can make himself tradeable between now and july. If he they think he can then the next question is whether this will impede anyone's development. Since there is no "closer of the future" on the team, the answer seems to be no. The last question is whether he'll take innings away from someone else who might turn himself into a tradeable asset, like Jason Frasor. I don't see Frasor as any contending team's "late inning" specialist, so this seems like a low risk low reward situation.<br /><br />my main worry is how Cito would handle Gagné. He is a washed up veteran after all, so i could easily see him being trotted out there night after night to give up HRs after Carlson loads the bases.MJKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16655511182506995468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-70976868295777086332010-01-21T12:05:11.113-05:002010-01-21T12:05:11.113-05:00Shawn Camp is OK by me, used appropriately of cour...Shawn Camp is OK by me, used appropriately of course.
