Player Notes
December 12, 2008
Ramon Santiago has signed a one-year deal with the Tigers for $825,000, according to the Detroit Free Press. They have avoided salary arbitration.

Our View:Santiago should spell Adam Everett at shortstop in 2009, and his fantasy value looks to remain limited.
November 12, 2008
Ramon Santiago has a reliable glove and a strong arm, but the Tigers do not view the 29-year-old as a full-time shortstop, according to the Detroit News. GM Dave Dombrowski said, "We've said it many times. We like him. But there's a difference between playing somebody every day. You're talking 150 games, and that's a lot of baseball at the major league level. Our gut instinct is that he would have a hard time handling that. You never know, but it's a gut instinct. I'm not saying that as we weigh our options that it might not be something that ends up happening. We have different spots we're trying to fill, and only so much free-agent cash involved."

Our View:The team does not believe he has the physical makeup to handle a full-time job, and are still shopping for a shortstop.
October 5, 2008
The Detroit News speculates that the Tigers could go with Ramon Santiago at shortstop next season until prospect Cale Iorg is ready to contribute.

Our View:It still seems very early to be speculating, but Edgar Renteria has probably played his last game for the team.
September 25, 2008
Ramon Santiago hit two home runs on Wednesday as the Tigers beat Scott Kazmir and the Rays 7-5. Prior to the game, Santiago had just one home run this season. He finished the day with three hits, three runs, and two RBI.

Our View:Not sure where the power surge came from. Kazmir gave up four home runs in five innings on Wednesday, so clearly he was putting them on a tee all day long.
July 8, 2008
Ramon Santiago has officially been activated from the 15-day DL, according to the Detroit News. He has recovered from a separated left shoulder. Michael Hollimon was optioned to Triple-A Toledo as the adjoining move.

Our View:Santiano hit .361 over 36 at-bats with four doubles, one triple, and one homer with the Tigers this season, but won't see enough action as a utlility infielder to merit a spot on your fantasy roster.
