I agree that paying a closer so much money is a questionable business practice. For every closer that has a long career like Mariano Rivera or Lee Smith, you have several that flame out after a few years.
That said, Gagne was at least as valuable as any other closer at the time the contract was signed, and that's the only fair way to judge if the contract was good--at the time it was signed, not after he gets hurt.
