Fantasy spin : Addison Reed value goes up for White Sox.

Santos has a very friendly contract, and I'm sure Marco Paddy who is now with the White Sox had something to do with this.
Santos can throw the gas so as a Jays fan, let's hope this trade for a closer works out this time.

Who doesn't love a closer who misses bats? Sergio Santos struck out 92 batters in 63 1/3 innings last year. He's got to cut down on the walks a bit, but his stuff is legit, he's got a friendly contract and he's just 28 years of age. He's not a top-10 closer, but he's a solid No. 2.
Santos is also good friends with Adam Lind and Ricky Romero, he used to be a prospect for the Jays. They asked to him to consider pitching, but he didn't want to. Santos hit .183 for the team in AAA in 2008 before being claimed on waivers by the Twins. He then signed with the White Sox who converted him to a pitcher and the rest is history.
