Ex-Phillies pitcher Michael Schwimer runs a predatory loan company that targets minor leaguers

Remember Michael Schwimer? It’s okay if you don’t, because he wasn’t very good. He was a reliever who pitched for the Phillies in the majors for two seasons. His combined ERA over 2011 and 2012 was 4.62. He sucked, and was an ornery dick to boot. The Phillies traded him to the Blue Jays in February 2013 for Art Charles and he never pitched in the majors again.

Well, he’s back in our lives once again. And he’s still terrible — but as a human being and not just a pitcher anymore.

Jerry Crasnick of ESPN published a story on Friday night that should make you feel deep, deep anger.
