Buehrle>Wood Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) Not sorting through that clusterf*** free agent thread. But yeah, Santos is available. He was just awful, and hurt last year. But I'd like to see him back on the southside if he's healthy as a much needed back of the pen option. I'd imagine he'd cost around 2 million.

BlackSox13 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Good gawd no. I remember how frustrating it was watching him trying to find the strike zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I'm down to give anyone with an arm a minor league contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd_city_saint787 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Nov 1, 2014 -> 11:33 AM) Good gawd no. I remember how frustrating it was watching him trying to find the strike zone. He had great control in 2013 when he only walked 4 in 25.2 while striking out 28. That said I certainly wouldn't rely on him as a back end of the bullpen guy, nor would I sign him for 2M....I'm not sure if he's fallen this far but I'd try to get him on a minor league contract or vet min, if that's even a thing. Between Petricka, Putnam, Guerra, and one of Webb/Cleto/Bassitt, I'm somewhat content with our RH relievers. If we add a RH reliever I'd prefer it be a proven closer like Robertson, Jansson, KRod, or Romo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't sign him for 2M either. I'd offer him a minor league contract at best and if that wasn't good enough then I would move on. Erratic, injury prone pitchers are a dime a dozen.

nitetrain8601 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Honestly, offer him and a bunch of once good to great relievers small deals and see what sticks. Relievers are year to year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Leader Jason, like me, seems to want a new thread created for every topic, especially in the offseason. I'm sure he'll be along soon in the not to distant future to lock those other behemoth threads in pht. His mods though seem to disagree but maybe not anymore. I don't know.

Chisoxfn Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I like the idea of Santos. No point for Sox to get him, but with him more healthy, I'll take my chances on a league min and some Coop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhonnydanks Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I want this just so I can wear my Santos jersey again. Doubtful though, didn't Sox trade him because they knew he'd end up hurt? Could have sworn I heard a story similar to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 https://twitter.com/ChrisCotillo/status/535177662613192704 Minor league deal? No promises? Sure, why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
