Re: taking out johan in the ninth
Santana is pitching better against R (.212) than L (.272) this year. Also, Iguchi and Konerko are hitting better against R this year.

There is a reason Nathan is our closer....we trust him in must-win games, which this most certainly was.

If Benitez was your closer, would you trust him?
I don't know, Nathan is pretty good, and for almost any other pitcher I would pick him to go in. But this is Santana.
Finish the job, Johan.
