In a somewhat bizarre move, the White Sox began their rebuilding by moving Sergio Santos to the Blue Jays for a minor league pitcher. Santos emerged as a closer last season in just his second year in the major leagues and his third as a pitcher. The bizarre part was that he was under club control for 6 more years and was relatively cheap, signed for only $1 million for next season.
In games I’ve attended over the past 2 years, Santos has racked up the following stats:
| Wins | Losses | ERA | Saves | IP | Hits | Runs | ER | Walks | Strike Outs | HR | Pitch Count | Strikes | HBP | Appearances |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 2 | 4.13 | 10 | 28.333 | 22 | 13 | 13 | 8 | 37 | 2 | 443 | 281 | 0 | 29 |
