Brewers needed pen help so why not bring him back? There is no way he should be put in a one run ballgame but he could be a good 6th/7th inning guy. And by good I mean come in and get one out. Terrible offseason by the Brewers.Brewers re-signed RHP Eric Gagne to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
All indications were that the Brewers had no interest in re-signing Gagne. However, with absolutely no financial risk assumed here, there was nothing for them to lose. Gagne did have a 3.52 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP in 23 innings after the All-Star break last season. There's no reason to think he can't be at least an adequate middle reliever this year.
