FOX Sports: Rosenthal: Confronting the Clemens Catch-22

That…and other general dreedle from Rosenthal.

Closer Eric Gagne touched 94 mph in his Rangers debut Friday night, throwing harder than he did in spring training or during his minor-league appearances.

A rival scout who saw Gagne in spring training notes that the right-hander looked more comfortable on the mound than he did in the spring, when he appeared to hold back coming off back and elbow surgeries

“I thought he would be more hittable,” Beltre says. “I heard he was throwing 89-90. It was nothing like that. He had life to his fastball.”
