JEFF SAMARDZIJA RUMORS

Is Jeff Samardzija Really The Only “Untouchable” Cub?

The Chicago Cubs made some waves on Thursday, with the report that pretty much anyone on their team is available to be discussed. Only one player was omitted from that list, and it’s not who you think. Jeff Samardzija was listed as the only Cub that the team will not discuss trading. Not Starlin Castro or Matt Garza, Jeff Samardzija. Shark has been excellent this season, there...

Jeff Samardzija Proves He’s The Real Deal As A Starter

When the season started, several fans and analysts were divided on how they felt about this rotation for the 2012 Chicago Cubs. Some saw it as a group with potential to be among the league’s best, while others felt that outside of the top two of Ryan Dempster and Matt Garza, it had the potential to be a total mess.

One foot on the Samardzija bandwagon

Jeff Samardzija transformed. We heard about it all spring. We were to believe the transformation began in the second half of last season in which he threw about 40 or so innings. We had to put all our faith in those numbers that were as a reliever and a scout or two, which was a [...]

Jeff Samardzija is a better pitcher

I wasn't buying it, but I'm now convinced that Jeff Samardzija is indeed a better pitcher. Samardzija had not started since midway through the 2010 season when he made 3 starts. He had a 6.19 ERA in those 3 games. Compare that to the 5.71 ERA he has through the same number of games this [...]

Jeff Samardzija is turning the Cubs pitching plans upside down.

Per Paul Sullivan, Dale Sveum says that Jeff Samardzija is a near lock for the rotation. Which means that the final rotation spot comes down to Randy Wells, Chris Volstad, Rodrigo Lopez and Travis Wood. I started this spring with the prediction that the Cubs would start the season with Matt Garza, Ryan Dempster, Paul Maholm, Randy Wells and Chris Volstad in the rotation...
