OmarComing25 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 9, 2015 -> 07:36 PM) They often come from losing organizations and only have to worry about playing for a new contract. There's no pressure in August and Sept. Sounds like a bunch of psychoanalytical BS to me. Sarcasm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarComing25 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Trayce gets an initial bad read but makes up for it with his athleticism. Also with every run Samardzija gives up it makes me more worried he won't get signed until after next year's draft. That ERA won't stop rising.

The expected 2.5 WAR from the draft pick over the course of his career simply is not worth the very good chance that Shark accepts the QO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pettie4sox Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Yeah I'd cut him draft pick be damned. Samardzija is detrimental to the team at this point. A cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Farmer and DJ were saying Samardzija doesn't pitch inside enough, as well as believing he is comfortable with his delivery when games start. They were also amazed at how many pitches he throws right down the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Samardzija next year if he signs with us: 8-12, 5.00 ERA, 4.25 FIP, 195 IP, 168 K If he signs elsewhere: 16-7, 3.34 ERA, 3.05 FIP, 214 IP, 200 K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's surprisingly positive out of those numbers. Well, from 7 to 7.75 K/9. Just means he'd strike out more batters but still have an almost identical ERA.

chitownsportsfan Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Quite a few ND fans that I talk to online warmed me about this guy and I said whatever as long as he performs I don't really care if he's a massive douche. Well, apparently not only can he not perform on the field he also loves to ogle the fans' wives that sit behind the dugout at the Cell. That was the report I read on a UM football board from a ND fan that posts there. This was back in August. What a dick this guy is just get him out of here.

Just means he'd strike out more batters but still have an almost identical ERA. I've just been on the kick all year of saying "that huge drop in K rate from last year is really going to hurt him eventually" and then August hit. That's one of the several big parts of why he's so bad this year, so an improvement in K rate, to me, would mean you'd expect him to pitch better. But anyway.

GreenSox Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Melky was an awful signing. His career numbers were nothing special anyway and a decline is no surprise. What I don't understand is why Ventura coddles him and DHs Garcia, the younger player who needs the work. Ventura probably thinks Melky is the better player. Shark is a fly ball pitcher. Don't know why the Sox wanted him so much, irrespective of his deterioration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the several big parts of why he's so bad this year, so an improvement in K rate, to me, would mean you'd expect him to pitch better. But anyway. Well, I wouldn't say his bad pitching this year is entirely due to strikeouts. I think it's mostly his command. Anyway, it wouldn't be a drastic spike in his K/9. It would still be subpar by his (former) standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 ERA approaching 5. At this point I'm rooting for him to sit on the bench the rest of the year. Let Johnson get his innings. Hell, give them to Frankie. Just bench this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
