December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:48 AM) 23 year old who hasn't pitched in AA yet and started his pro career in 2010? Yeah he's probably a bust. Obviously injuries are a factor but that's good either. Still, worth the lotto ticket. When he signed, he was considered a crown jewel.
December 9, 201411 yr And why not now to make a bold prediction of the semi-distant future? After 3 years of excellence, we'll be contemplating the haul we'd get for trading Shark and his high, but still friendly salary, as the younger, much farther along earlier in career, and possibly better version of Shark, Spencer Adams arrives. I can dream. Make that 1st part happen now though, Mr. H. Where else does the kid from Valpo want to be? Just don't dick him around like the northsiders, and the respect will be built to make it so.

December 9, 201411 yr So what's the deal with us trying to extend him? Will it be something that may happen during the regular season?
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:50 AM) When he signed, he was considered a crown jewel. Yeah but he's not even a starter anymore. Not complaing. Shark is the haul here and I love this.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:53 AM) So what's the deal with us trying to extend him? Will it be something that may happen during the regular season? Total speculation here, but it'll either happen soon or not at all.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 06:54 PM) Yeah but he's not even a starter anymore. Not complaing. Shark is the haul here and I love this. As someone said earlier, the Semien/Danish/Trey M. rumor made this deal seem even better
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (shysocks @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 06:54 PM) Total speculation here, but it'll either happen soon or not at all. I don't think it will happen soon, as I'm sure he'll want to see what Lester/Shields/Max get
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:53 AM) Extension talk. I think 5/85 or 6/100 is fair value. Funny how the third best starter on the team will probably make more than the first and second best combined.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:55 AM) I don't think it will happen soon, as I'm sure he'll want to see what Lester/Shields/Max get Didn't mean "soon" as in this week or anything. More like next within the next few weeks or a month. I'm not expecting it during the season.
December 9, 201411 yr Ynoa? Damn that's a nice get. And man, all our players we're sending over profile as Ben guys soooo much.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:54 AM) Yeah but he's not even a starter anymore. Not complaing. Shark is the haul here and I love this. You never know with these guys. He strikes out a lot of guys. He probably will never be heard from, but he may be Roberto Hernandez, a guy the Sox got for basically nothing, who was a bust until he was 25 or 26, and became really valuable.
December 9, 201411 yr Eaton on the Score. Legitimately pumped. These guys are going to show up to Glendale ready to win a championship, and that's exciting.
December 9, 201411 yr So...did nobody else offer what we did for Samardzija? This just seems like a crappy return to me.
December 9, 201411 yr Pitching for the White Sox is a dream come true for Samardzija if you didn't hear.
December 9, 201411 yr @PWSullivan Hahn says Samardzija told him "this is a dream come true." Hope that goes a long way in extending him.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 10:55 AM) https://twitter.com/C_Bass419 Hound treed a fox, good for him.
December 9, 201411 yr MLB @MLB 7m7 minutes ago "This is the guy we wanted. This is the guy who fit for us." – @WhiteSox GM Rick Hahn on Samardzija. So this is the guy he said after the trade deadline that he'd been trying to get? That can't be right. Edited December 9, 201411 yr by Jose Abreu
