Santiago Casilla Marquee
He signed with Oakland as Jairo García, using a false name and age, and pitched four seasons that way before the 2006 visa audits; he corrected the record, took his own name and lost two years off the front of his career on paper.
San Francisco signed him in 2010 and he pitched seven seasons there, on the clubs that won the World Series in 2010, 2012 and 2014 — 144 saves in all, and a 1.70 earned run average in the third of those title years. He saved 38 games in 2015 and 31 in 2016.
Fifteen seasons gave him a 3.29 earned run average across 645 innings and 655 games. He was Dominican. He is not on a Hall of Fame ballot.
