Gagne WAS a starter who got thrown around like mad. He had enough pitches to be a starter, and that's what makes him such a tricky closer.
He can blast a 98mph fastball past you.. then hit you with an OBNOXIOUS rainbow curve.. or make you look absolutely SILLY with 72mph change up. He's got a few other pitches in there to mix it up, but those are his weapons of choice.
