Late night swooning for Jeff Samardzija
The video below speaks for itself:
Jeff Samardzija didn’t bat for himself (the White Sox use the designated hitter, which is a story for another day) but still pretty much won the game for the Cubs with a complete game, two-hit shutout.  In doing so, he lowered his season ERA to below 3 (now sitting at 2.85) and continued to pile up the strikeouts.  His record isn’t as nice...

How much is Jeff Samardzija worth?
With news that the Cubs have tried to extend Jeff Samardzija beyond his arbitration eligible seasons not once, but twice, I thought it might be a good idea to look into how much he's worth. Steamer projects 2.4 WAR and ZiPS projects 3.3. You can see these yourself on Fangraphs. Let's just split the difference and go with 2.9. Samardzija has 3 years of arbitrtation, including...
Three burning questions for the Chicago Cubs in 2013
There is no doubt that a team which lost 101 games is going to have more than a few question marks, but Theo Epstein and company have done their best this off-season to limit the amount of uncertainty for the Cubs going into 2013. While the Cubs brass has done their best to improve the team this winter, there are still a few big questions that Cubs fans everywhere should be asking...
