I think the Indians are really close to landing this high risk/reward guy ...
 
Damn, thatll be a hell of a signing for you guys.
 
Didn't he have Tommy John surgery? I mean he closed 80 something straight...but that is a huge surgery..thats like Amare's Micro Fracture surgery. I'd love to have him but I hope he's not going to be our Mark Prior..
 
Gange at 80% or better closing for us.

I just wet myself.

THAT would be the signing that maybe pushes Dolan out of the "Cheap-Bastard of Cleveland" award. Hell he'd be close. Gange would be huge if healthy. He's worth a shot.

ESPN said he'd make his decision by tonight.
 
5 MIL guarenteed with 5 more M if he performs up to standards.

Do it.

However, I know I love closers. I've always loved a team with a dominating closer, but I'd still do this deal.
 
And if we can figure out a solid setup man and he can do close to what he did as a Dodger...with the offense we have..in Sizemore Hafner Barfields 20-30 dingers...Blake's 20...

We'd be back in the playoff hunt..
 
Now this is the type of roll the dice risk you take... I'm on board with Gagne..
 
Borowski could be the set-up man if we do sign Gagne
 
This is agony waiting for his announcement.
 
I would ABSOLUTELY take this chance. What can it hurt? If the guy comes back anywhere near what he was before he's top 5 in the league.

How much would it cost? This better not be the next Sarunas Jasikevicius thread.
 
I can't get away from this. Even if he's only 3/4 back, we still have one of the best closers in baseball.

I swear Dolan/Shapiro if you screw this up...
 
The Red Sox seem to have dropped out of the race thank God!!! It is between the Rangers,and the Tribe!!!
 
Well the last two AL Participants in the WS came out of the Central but then again the AL West is very deep..
