And some thought the Sox would not be active in the free agent market. Ha ha!

Looks like he had a good year two years ago but not so great last year. Mid 90s sinker, low 90s cutter, mid 80s curve.

as Garfein tweeted, May he find his inner Anthony Swarzak

I actually played baseball with him from little league on, was my quarterback in high school too. Went to Willowbrook out in Villa Park. I've seen some talks about comparing Swarzak on Twitter... not sure I'll agree there.

Has a nice fastball, not sure this is a "Coop can fix him" candidate. I'd see him more as a candidate to fill some innings but doubt a career revival in the making. I'm thinking split season between AAA/ChiSox is probably a safe bet.

Yeah, I don't care what kind of team you have, every team could use bullpen pieces.
