Sawks pick up two veteran pitchers

The Sawks signed veteran pitchers Jon Switzer and Michael Tejera to minor league contracts and invited them to spring training this season.
Switzer 28, has spent his major league career with Tampa garnering a career record of 2-4 and 6.11 ERA. Tejera has spent time with three major league teams compiling an 11-13 career record with a 5.14 ERA in 111 major league appearances. Hopefully they can pan out and be viable bullpen options this season for The Sawks.

Schilling Re-signs

Big game Curt signed a one year 8 million dollar contract with THE SAWKS that with all incentives could reach as much as 13 million. The incentives are based on innings pitched with the max bonus at 200 and an additional weight clause that Schilling himself added as a motivater.

With this signing THE SAWKS brass has once again shown they aren't afraid to let the money fly to improve the team.

Since acquiring Schilling from the D-backs in Nov. 2003 THE SAWKS have gone on to win two championships. Dispatching of the evil empire that is the Yankees in 2004 in the greatest comeback in baseball history. After which making light work of the Cards to win thier first title in 86 years. And then again in 2007 making easy work of quite possibly the hottest team in baseball history the Colorado Rockies who going into the series had won 22 of 23.

Which begs the question is Mr. Schilling the missing link to the puzzle that was the Curse of the Bambino?
