WASHINGTON–The Washington Nationals, needing pitching as desperately as Lou Piniella needs sensitivity lessons, have signed former Cub Jerome Williams to a one-year, $500,000 contract.
Don’t be sad you’re gone, Jerome. We’re all racist here in Chicago, anyhow.
In case Cubs fans have forgotten how terrible Williams was last season, here is his terribleness in all its glory:
Williams, who gets a one-year deal paying him $500,000 in the majors and $90,000 in the minors, went 0-2 with a 7.30 ERA in five appearances with the Chicago Cubs last season. He was optioned in April to Triple-A Iowa, where he was 5-7 with a 4.76 ERA. The Oakland Athletics claimed Williams off waivers in September, then declined to tender him a contract offer last month.
Hot as a Kerry Wood fastball.
