Jeff Samardzija Watch

[Cubbies10]

Well your talking to a massive Jeff Samardzija fan and he is working on those things and his last start proves it, the fact he didn't walk anyone and struck out 7 shows that he is improving, it's just a case of being consistenly productive like that.

I'm not a stats man, i like to watch rather than go b numbers on a sheet, (Not attacking you or anyone else) i just think stats can only show so much.

Also I'm quietly confident that Cubs fans will love Jeff in a few years.

And to the Minors he goes again:

I was trying to find the "Does ZaBaDaDoo Have Any Options" thread but this will do. Apparently he does, or did. Probably his last. He's going to get past by his contemporaries if he isn't careful (Cashner). Leave him down there until learns to fool people other than Hendry.
