Jerksticks Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 09:46 AM) While I agree with you, the Devil's Advocate reply is....are you ready to give Samardzija a ~$7 million raise from this year? I see your point but I think that seven million is the cheapest way to get a solid 200 innings without further commitment. What are the chances Shark accepts that QO though. He's running out of years to land a megadeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the chances Shark accepts that QO though. He's running out of years to land a megadeal. IMO, if you count Fulmer, the White Sox are back to having 6 starters who should/will be in the big leagues for most of next year even without Samardzija. Fulmer may not be ready for a whole season, but conveniently I won't mind replacing Danks with him. So that's the risk. (Danks, of course, has a better ERA than Samardzija this year too. But him, we'll be able to replace) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The QO value is that player will likely at least be in the Show and make some sort of contribution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDF Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) the only thing i found out is in 2015, the QO was 15.3 mil. so i would say on a guess, 2016 should be starting at that same amount until the officials of the CBA officials makes the announcement.

greg775 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Here's what Shark deserves: 9 to 10 million a year for 4 years. I'd say 3 years but in this day and age four years. Here's what he'll get: 17 to 24 million a year for 5-6 years. Good luck to the team that gives him that kind of dough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Danks on the roster I don't think I did. However, I also see no reason why we should expect him to follow a path that different from Rodon. Really for starting the season though if Samardzija is here then EJ isn't. That's who the initial tradeoff would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the relative glut of top-end pitchers available next year, and the fact that Samardzija is pitching like a 3/4 starter, I'd be shocked if he gets more than James Shields money at this point. That said, I don't want the Sox to give it to him anymore than I wanted the Sox to give it to James Shields last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your whole stance is that they incorrectly accelerated a rebuild, and you are worried about an extra $7 million we are hamstrung by for one year? Your question is are we nervous about Shark accepting, but no, I would have no reservations about delivering a qualifying offer if the worst case scenario is getting a 200IP pitcher for 1 year, 17 million. I would be shocked if he didn't outperform this year, but even if he did, it has very little ramifications longterm with the exception of possibly/maybe creating a temporary surplus of pitching depth. If that's the worst case scenario, that is certainly worth extending with the hope fo getting a comp pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the worst case scenario, that is certainly worth extending with the hope fo getting a comp pick. It's unquestionable that we should give him the QO. If he accepts, fine. It's a one-year overpay, and we can trade him to get some of that back at the deadline. It would be no different than signing some bounce-back Jason Hammel pitcher and trying to trade him at the deadline.

That's the last I'll say on the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 There's really no risk of having the QO accepted. The window to accept or reject is only a week, and there's no way he will know enough about his market value within that week to risk accepting the offer.

It is the last thing I'm worried about. If his August performance continues for a couple more weeks I could certainly see it becoming possible that they won't offer or he'll reject. I genuinely do think there's a solid chance he winds up unsigned until the QO compensation expires already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
