The guys throws 97 with a nasty tailing movement. His curve looks wicked.
And we have guys like Mitch Boggs and Mike Parisi.
Good grief.

What was the joke about tight ends vs wide receivers?

This is a Rick Porcello rant by proxy.
Samardzija was given a ridiculous MLB contract to play baseball.

Re: Jeff Samardzija
Sammy has never missed bats despite his good stuff. He's infinitely hittable, has poor control, and doesn't get a ton of guys to swing and miss.
He's hoping to become Kyle Farnsworth one day. Not even close to worth his contract IMO, and I would have said the same no matter what team signed him.
I will concede he's raw as a pitcher, has great stuff, and has a chance to become more, but the numbers don't indicate that at this time.

Re: Jeff Samardzija
Bottom line it was the price to get guys like that on your team. Plus Porcello is infinitely more deserving of his money than Shark as illustrated by phin.Hungary Jack wrote:It was the only way to keep him out of the NFL.thrill wrote:This is a Rick Porcello rant by proxy.

Re: Jeff Samardzija
True story, when Samardzija met with Cubs scout(s) for their 1st at home meeting, he showed up in a backwards Sox hat. I respect that.
