Jeff Samardzija moves to bullpen

Featured Replies

So far this year, he has been a stud for Class A Daytona.

 

0-5, 5.75 ERA in 11 starts. 51.2 IP, 76 hits, 16 walks, 20 k's, .350 average against.

 

How much did they pay this clown again in round 2, thus taking projected 18th rounder Tyler Colvin in the 1st to save money? lol.

Looks like he should have stuck with football... I wonder if he is having the mysterious fastball sickness where his velocity has dropped from the upper-mid 90's to the lower 90's....

This move was bound to happen eventually, no?

Soooo, what does this have to do with the Sox minor leagues?

well, since there isn't really a general minor league discussion area, where else would you have liked him to put it?

:D

:lolhitting

IMO that was a big marketing pick by a team that IMO often puts that ahead of their actual on the field team. The Cubs got to draft a ND golden boy and feed off the attention. If in Sept they need a boost of attention they'll drag his ass up and throw him in the BP

Has he done anything with that girly hair yet? I think he should have been on that Bravo show SHEAR GENIUS... maybe Evangelin could have put her hedge clippers to good use!

it was the fifth round....and 20 K's in 52 IP in A ball is horrendous

Over/Under on how long before he goes back to football?

He better decide within 2 years or the NFL will pass him by.

If he jumps ship now or within the next 2 years I believe, he'll have to give most all of the money he's earned back to the Cubs.

DIdn't he or isn't he getting moved back to the rotation. I thought the move was temporary and they were working on a couple things than moving him back to the rotation.

Aren't you supposed to know the SCOOPZ~! on the minor leagues, Gager? :P

He moved to the bullpen so he could get more chances to try to work on some other pitches.

 

Additionally, he loses $10,000,000 if he leaves the Cubs for football.

IMO, it's a no-brainer to stay.

Yep.

 

He's screwed.

 

If by screwed you mean making 10 million dollars to suck.... than your right :D

I can't believe that you just typed "than your right" in one sentence.

 

 

 

My high school English teachers would die a little inside if they visited here.

No doubt about it.

 

 

So how long does he have to "play" baseball until he can sign with an NFL team? Damn, he could have been the next Ed McCaffery.

Any team could sign him too I think. He's basically an undrafted free agent. I bet he'll make an assload of money in the NFL if he left (maybe he could get that 10 mill signing bonus by playing football professionally with his initial rookie contract).
