If there’s a chance Gagne could drop to you, keep Vlad.

Here’s a conservative prediction for him for this season;

```auto

Avg AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB CS BB SO SLG OBP OPS
0.328	502	89	164	30	3	31	95	24	12	70	65	0.585	0.415	1000

```

I’d definitely keep him based on those numbers. And he really should outperform  
that anyway.
