Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

Gagne quote.

despite the $10mm, i think Gagne is a good risk for one year.  as an NL central "closer" he could have a monster year.  

but, does anyone think it's funny that he'll be playing for the Milwaukee Brewers.  That is, does anyone remember this quote (god bless the article archives at Baseball Prospectus):

"I don't want to be here if we're just going to play kids and rebuild. Yeah, I put my name on a contract, and I respect that. But the Dodgers' logo was on top of that contract -- not the Milwaukee Brewers or the Las Vegas 51s."
--Gagne, October 2005

i remember being quite livid about that one.  look what we've built now, Eric.  i didn't think Canadians were so short-sighted.

No wonder he went to Texas
At least they have the decency to fight for eighty wins every year.

my favorite quote on that page...

Wait until Gange
comes out to Welcome to the Jungle by G&R.  That alone kept me going to Dodger stadium...  and Wetzel's pretzels.  Oh, and it was only 5 bucks.

The spectacle and a save will erase the memory of his quote I would think.

Remember
He's FRENCH-Canadian.

(Ha ha, just kidding. I love all you Quebecois out there.)
