Eric Gagne

Eric Gagne struck out two AAA batters in one inning.

That is certainly a good sign. However, watch for news that he is a little sore and how he does in his next appearance.

If everything looks good, then dropping Takashi Saito becomes easier as he'd line-up third behind Gagne and Baez.

Assuming Broxton has earned his spot on the roster, Gagne's activation pushes him way down the ladder of importance.

In non-keeper leagues, he could be dropped too. In keeper ones, he must be retained as Gagne and Baez are free agents at season's end.

In leagues that count strikeouts, Broxton should be retained as he is a 1+ strikouts per innings pitched reliever.
