Indians Sign Saarloos, Aquino

According to MLB.com’s Anthony Castrovince, the Indians signed pitchers Kirk Saarloos and Greg Aquino to minor league deals.

Saarloos, 30 in May, spent most of ’08 posting mediocre numbers in Triple A as a member of the A’s organization.  Aquino, 31, pitched well at Triple A but his brief time with the Orioles did not go well.  He missed time with a hamstring strain.  Both players were designated for assignment by their teams in April but cleared waivers.
