Three good things about Eric Gagné signing in Milwaukee.

  1. We don’t have to go through the agony of watching him pitch anymore.
  2. We get to face him next year since Milwaukee is on our schedule.
  3. We get an extra draft pick in the supplemental round.

If you think getting a supplemental first round draft pick is no big deal, think again. Back in the 2005 draft, the Red Sox took Clay Buchholz, Jed Lowrie, and Michael Bowden. Lowrie and Bowden as you know have been involved in the Johan Santana trade talks.
