The Jeff Samardzija Defenestration Thread

[Powdered Toast Man]

This is a for real question...you think the Cubs are going to spend on a starter like that if the Cubs do somehow keep Samardzija and Wood?

I don't think I understand your point. You're saying the Cubs shouldn't spend money to get another good player because they already have Samardzija and Wood?

I'm saying I the good player I thought they spend money on would be an OF bat. But, hey, I'm all for good players.

despite recent history, I don't think there's a rule against signing multiple quality players in one offseason.

I the Cubs can pay lots of good players starting next year when Edwin, Castro, Rizzo, Samardzija and Wood are the only guys to whom they're obligated to pay $5 M+.

I appreciate a good grammar mocking.

Bought my ticket for Cubs at Giants on Memorial Day.  I wanna see HISTORY.

DPD. Maybe history is Samardzija's last win as a Cub.

The Giants' announcers were talking as though Samardzija was already wearing an ugly orange and black accented uniform,

While I don't think there's a chance in hell he's traded THIS WEEK - you have to think the Cubs want to capitalize on this before he hits a rough patch. There are still so many teams in contention and ol' Samardzija is the best guy who's available (assuming said contender is willing to pay).

I think the Cubs are in a pretty good spot with this. One thing you can say about Jepstink's Reign of Terror is that the guys they've deemed flippable going into a season tend to have very good first halves more often than not.

That said - I really wonder if they're able to convince him to stick around. You'd have to think the successes of the prospects and might get him to stay. But maybe he's seen it all before like some kind of tall BC.

I TRIED TO WARN YOU, BUT YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN.

I just hope they move him before the regression hits.

He'll certainly regress in ERA, but his advanced stats like FIP, xFIP are basically right where they have for the past 500 innings or so (which is really good).

They better move him before June 1.

*checks calendar*

Shit.

Cubes make Samardzija a new offer.

Jepstink is terrible.
