I still think she might be some fat, 50-something guy named Carl, not unlike this gentleman...

just throwin' it out there...
relievers have to be consistent. Gagne has blown 3 games, given up a run in another which didn't cost us and had 3 outings where he hasn't given up a run. thats not consistent
considering top pitchers hit the free agent market less and less these days and the fact that its damn near impossible to get a top tier pitcher without developing your own, it makes the trade a must do for the Sox under any circumstance
I'd agree with you, except if Buchholz was given a regular spot in the rotation, he would most likely surpass his innings limit for the year that the Sox have placed him on
