Trade - Blue Jays/White Sox

[Jss0062]

Santiago gives me a cheap, controllable arm to plug into the pitching staff.  I didn't feel like the cost was prohibiitve.  I wasn't especially high on any of the prospects and none were #1 at their position in my organization.  The draft picks, while not high at all, will help build back some of the depth lost in this deal.

 :iatp: Although I think Alberto could make you regret this deal in a few years, he was nearly 4 years younger than league average in the pitching rich Texas League last season.
