| Ventura sees Thornton as closer: White Sox manager Robin Ventura told the Chicago Tribune on Wednesday that he views Matt Thornton as his closer heading into 2012. Thornton posted a 3.32 ERA in 62 appearances last season, including going 3 for 7 in save chances. (Updated 01/25/2012) |

| Fantasy Analysis |
| Thornton began last year as the closer in Chicago but after posting an 8.64 ERA over the first month of the season, the White Sox looked elsewhere for their ninth-inning guy. It looks as though he will get another shot at the job, however, which will help his Fantasy value. The left-hander posted a 2.70 ERA with 245 strikeouts in 200 1/3 innings from 2008-10 before a down campaign last season so the potential is there. Consider Thornton as more of a late-round selection in mixed leagues on Draft Day if he is the closer in Chicago. (Updated 01/25/2012). |
