Ease Gagne in, will you?

Eric Gagne is making steady progress coming back from the elbow injury that kept him out since the Spring Training. Skipper Grady Little has this to say about the Gagne's role, when he's back - at this point three to four weeks away from now:

"He's the closer for this ballclub,"
Little said of Gagne, but
he added that there's a strong
possibility the role will be
shared, initially, when Gagne
returns.

If the decision on Gagne was mine to take, I would not jinx what Saito and Baez are doing at the moment. I'd ease Eric into his target closer role by making him a regular seventh inning guy for let's say two weeks. While the pressure will still be high (even though he'd exchange the "SV"s for the "H"s), Gagne might feel less strained psychologically. This would allow giving him some exposure to games on the line, but not the proverbial "last three outs" that certain games would have depended upon in that span.

This would be a win-win situation and, due obviously to Gagne's position on the club and his salary, it does not have to last for the whole season. Over time, with proven Eric, we could slip the current duo down an inning and reinstate Gagne as the closer. Makes sense?
