Hermanson played adequetely as a starter for the giants but when our closer herges couldnt get it done, the giants moved him to the closer position. He pitched far from great especially at the Giants' pitcher friendly park.
He had a few good games but mostly he gave up a lot of crucial runs. He blew the 2nd to last game of the season against the dodgers which cost the giants the playoffs. (3-0 lead into the ninth, 7-3 dodger win). A questionable sign for the white sox but he was cheap.
Last year: 6-9, 17 svs, 4.53 ERA
