November 1, 201411 yr 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. Edited November 1, 201411 yr by Buehrle>Wood
November 1, 201411 yr Good gawd no. I remember how frustrating it was watching him trying to find the strike zone.
November 1, 201411 yr 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.

If we add a RH reliever I'd prefer it be a proven closer like Robertson, Jansson, KRod, or Romo. That's kind of a small sample size though. He was pretty awful in a small sample size in 2014. 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.
November 1, 201411 yr Honestly, offer him and a bunch of once good to great relievers small deals and see what sticks. Relievers are year to year.
November 1, 201411 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 1, 2014 -> 01:56 PM) He's getting a major league contract I'm sure. There are plenty of washed up pitchers who will get a major league contract.
November 1, 201411 yr UGH. I thought Mods wanted us to make threads so that we wouldn't bury things in the catch-All Thread? Which is it?

My point was that I've been told in the past to make new threads rather than burying news in a different thread.

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.

November 2, 201411 yr 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.
November 3, 201411 yr QUOTE (Knuckles @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 04:51 PM) I'm willing to drive and pick him up from the airport. Why? The guy has been awful or hurt since 2011.
November 3, 201411 yr I mean, minor league deal, sure. I just can't believe he's healthy enough to be what he used to be.

November 6, 201411 yr 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.
November 19, 201411 yr https://twitter.com/ChrisCotillo/status/535177662613192704 Minor league deal? No promises? Sure, why not.
