D-Train was sent down to single-A Lakeland to work on his mechanics and hopefully find a way back to the 22-win season he put together just three years ago. He is being paid like a big boy—it's now time to pitch like one.

After putting together the greatest run by a relief pitcher in the history of the game just a few years ago, Gagne has fizzled out. Arm troubles have been a major source of the ugliness, but there might also be a screw loose up top. After joining the Red Sox from the Rangers late in the 2007 season, Gagne completely lost it, but still parlayed a decent playoffs into a $10 million deal from the Brewers.
Sadly, the end of the road might be coming for Gagne as a closer. His arm is hurting, his numbers are terrible, and his name has popped up in the steroids scandal. Those 84 saves in a row seem like ages ago, don’t they?
