Cubs Sign Williamson to Minor League Deal

[rockin500]

They signed scott williamson to a one year deal worth 500K if he makes the big league roster during the year, 316K if he doesnt. They also hold a 2 million option for 2006.

he is out until july after reconstructive surgery on his elbow in october. they took a gamble on him after talking to his surgeon who said he is on schedule for a return to action by july.

Man, he came up huge when we needed him during the 2003 stretch run and postseason. Other than that two months, he was largely disappointing. I hope he does well for you guys. :)
