Hector Santiago Fantasy Baseball News, Notes, Rumors and Statistics
The latest Hector Santiago MLB and fantasy baseball news
Fri, 11 May 2012 22:14:39 -0700 Chicago White Sox manager Robin Ventura indicated Friday, May 11, that RPs Addison Reed, Hector Santiago and Matt Thornton might be used in a three-way closer situation. The situation will likely dictate who Ventura turns to. "Addison's done well, so you probably look for him if they have a bunch of righties coming up," Ventura said. "You probably look for Matty if they have a bunch of lefties coming up. If it's a mix, we'll probably have Hector."
Fri, 04 May 2012 15:27:16 -0700 Chicago White Sox RP Hector Santiago will work in middle relief now that the team has moved SP Chris Sale from the starting rotation into the closer role.
Sun, 29 Apr 2012 23:45:08 -0700 Chicago White Sox manager Robin Ventura did not give RP Hector Santiago a save chance Sunday, April 29, against the Boston Red Sox because of RP Matt Thornton's past history against the batters in the meat of Boston's order. Ventura might start picking his spots with Santiago and Thornton, giving Santiago favorable matchups in which he can work to get his command to where it needs to be. Ventura said that Santiago is not off of ninth-inning duties.
Wed, 25 Apr 2012 20:20:25 -0700 Chicago White Sox RP Hector Santiago was clubbed for three earned runs and five hits in a blown save and loss Wednesday, April 25, against the Oakland Athletics. He took the loss and was charged with his second blown save, as his ERA mushroomed to 8.53. After the game, manager Robin Ventura said Santiago remains his closer.
Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:53:29 -0700 Chicago White Sox RP Hector Santiago is making it a point to throw more screwballs this year. He had a better screwball in the minors last season, which he attributes to higher seams on minor league baseballs, allowing for more grip and spin. Santiago recently watched tapes of left-handed screwball pitchers like Fernando Valenzuela, Tug McGraw and Willie Hernandez.
Mon, 16 Apr 2012 21:58:14 -0700 Chicago White Sox RP Hector Santiago blew his first save of the season Monday, April 16, against the Baltimore Orioles, allowing two solo home runs and a walk in his inning of work.
Fri, 13 Apr 2012 14:58:18 -0700 Chicago White Sox RP Hector Santiago earned his third save in as many chances against the Detroit Tigers Friday, April 13. Santiago fanned two and gave up one hit.
Fri, 13 Apr 2012 13:36:54 -0700 Chicago White Sox general manager Kenny Williams said RPs Matt Thornton and Jesse Crain are critical to the team's bullpen, but the team likes them better filling the seventh and eighth innings. The initial decision on closer came down to RPs Hector Santiago and Addison Reed. "We all know in a game that (the) ninth inning doesn't necessarily mean you're going to have the toughest hitters up," Williams said. "The situation to win the game might be in the seventh or the eighth inning, so to have those guys available and interchangeable for that kind of fit everything together."
Mon, 09 Apr 2012 19:46:24 -0700 Chicago White Sox RP Hector Santiago served up a solo home run to Cleveland Indians 3B Jose Lopez Monday, April 9, but he settled down and picked up his second save of the season.
Sun, 08 Apr 2012 11:04:53 -0700 Chicago White Sox manager Robin Ventura said RP Hector Santiago was named the closer because of his effectiveness against both left-handed and right-handed batters, as well as the fact that the team wanted to keep RPs Jesse Crain and Matt Thornton in the setup roles that have made them so successful. "We got toward the end (of spring training), and you start looking at what he has and what he brings," Ventura said. "Instead of making him be the long guy, we started looking at him more at the end of the game. You don't have to move anybody around and still keep Jesse and Matt in the seventh and eighth, which are very important innings."
