i am also interested. Assuming that he can remain healthy is he a stud closer with a safe job???

He needs to prove he can stay healthy first. The guy hasn't pitched in two year, and there is no way of knowing exactly how he'll perform once he returns. It's highly unlikely he'll bounce back to be the dominant closer he once was, but he's a sleeper for saves at least.

Doubtful though that he'll make it through the season without injury.

gagne might come back very soon, early as next week i expect him to do big things

i think they sould put him in the set-up roll when he gets back for a couple of games and see how he does..

i agree i highly think he could succeed as a starter

He was TERRIBLE as a starter.

4-6 with a 5.163 in 2000.

Just a heads-up: Gagne is supposed to come off the DL today. He will immediately be the Ranger's closer.

Lets see how it turns out.

well, did anyone see his debut? How'd he look?

Got him activated now, though I missed out on the save last night.
