Tigers Free Agent Tracker: Sign Santiago.. WHY?
2 YRS $4M 0 Filled Holes for Tigers!
The Detroit Tigers have attempted to fill another hole they had to address this off season by signing a 2nd baseman yesterday. Most of the talks have swirled around free agents Kelly Johnson and Maicer Izturis to fill the gap at 2B for us, but Dave Dombrowski has shocked us all and instead re signed Ramon Santiago! The deal was reported to be...

Ramon Santiago Gets a Pretty Sweet Deal to Remain with Detroit Tigers
Ramon Santiago took a shot at free agency but it was a little scary out there, so he came right back to the Detroit Tigers for a $4.2 million, two-year contract on Wednesday.
The 32-year-old infielder will split that salary right down the middle for each of the next two seasons, and might even get the extra playing time he's been after. That lack of playing time was part of...

Ramon Santiago vs. Clint Barmes
The Pittsburgh Pirates have a huge hole at the shortstop position as we head into the depth of the offseason. There are a handful of legitimate options to fill the void left by Ronny Cedeno's departure, however I feel pretty strongly that that void will be filled by one of two players. For whatever reason (and I have no real legitimate one), I have this feeling that the Pirates...

Sources: Pirates like Santiago at shortstop

Santiago maintained a .685 OPS for the Detroit Tigers over the past three seasons while averaging roughly 100 games played per year. Hes regarded as a sure-handed defender at second base and shortstop. The 32-year-old has become immensely...

Stats Don’t Prove Ramon Santiago Hits Better in a Limited Role
It’s the line we’ve been handed for several years now by Jim Leyland and others. Ramon Santiago is simply not a major league starter. He does well in limited playing time, but if you start him too much he’ll likely wear down and his production will drop sharply. We even had the discussion a few days ago on this very blog after John expressed disappointment to see Ramon on the...

Ramon Santiago Gets No Love From Leyland
The Tigers are all set to battle the Arizona Diamondbacks this evening at Comerica Park. Await them when they step into the batter’s box will be none other than former Tigers and former good pitcher Dontrelle Willis.
Willis was traded to the D-backs two weeks ago after being designated for assignment by the Tigers. Detroit is still paying Willis the overwhelming majority of...

Santiago’s Strong Start Making Everett Expendable
Going back to the end of the dismal 2008 season, fans of the Detroit Tigers have been wondering aloud why Ramon Santiago isn’t just given the starting job at shortstop. Santiago has been a dependable reserve over the years, ably manning both short and second whenever the regular needed a day off.
He has hit a little and played generally [...]

Ramon Santiago signs 2 year deal
The Tigers announced that they have signed Ramon Santiago to a 2 year contract. Santiago has 5.095 years of service time meaning that the contract secures him through his club control years.
I’m a little surprised to see a 2 year deal for Santiago who is essentially a utility player. Terms weren’t announced, but Santiago made [...]
