It may be time for Hector Santiago owners to look elsewhere in the White Sox Bullpen. Alfredo Aceves has improved in his last few appearances, but Daniel Bard could still be the man in the Sox eventually use in the ninth. Dodgers closer Javy Guerra has hit a rough patch. Plus, more news from around the league.

“This could be a great battle with Addison Reed. I think they split, but Thornton will pitch more because of his left-handedness. Could potentially be a 2 inning guy at times.”

“Thornton opened up as the closer for the White Sox last season to only see him lose his job to Sale and Santos. This season, Santos is in Toronto, and Sale is now fighting for a starting spot. Thornton should be able to keep the closer job as he was excellent to close out the season and finished with an ERA under 3.50. Thornton is a solid K closer. Addison Reed could steal the closer job at some point. For now I would not worry.”
