No way.

He's an "ace".

Correct. Once again, he did not get "run support".

Cubs fans will console Sox fans on this one. Cubs fans did not want to resign him. I'm no fan of W-L for pitchers, but the eye test was enough to judge Samardzija.

In the AL Central...half the games in US Cellular...his ERA will not look attractive.

This isn't a smart thought. (Surprise!)

Last season, through 11 starts, he was 1-4. With a 1.68 ERA.

It takes some set of balls to turn down 90M guaranteed.

Didn't see today's game. Was it a continuation of spring training?

if it was a continuation of spring training, then everything should have been fine because those 9 HR's he was 'just working on stuff" per Stone

He's going to have to get that HR/FB thing figured out in a hurry in the Cell.

He's really the #3 who is the #2 because Quintana and Sale are lefties. He will be fine. Wait until you see Danks.

Heard an interesting thing today about Danks. They said 2/3 of his starts were quality starts. Theory is that as a number 4 regardless of salary with that stat and a little defense and more runs that can work out to be passable.

Samardzija gets the ball up, not really sure why thats such a shocker, its always been his issue. Maybe Bosio is just a better coach than the legend of Don Cooper? Cubs pen looked real good as well.

I wonder what you would say if a Cub fan posted something like this?

Probably something about Cub fans thinking everyone is great, etc

I'm sure K.Williams will re-sign him when Jackson becomes a FA.

Well seeing that it was someone else's theory I was repeating as being interesting mybe you can ask the originator what they would say to a cub poster?

Kenny Williams is not the Sox GM, and he never signed Edwin Jackson. You are 0-3 in this thread. Would you like to try for the golden sombrero?

He traded for him :roll: and everyone knows K.Williams still has a hand in baseball affairs.

Why so mad? Oh yeah, your team sucks balls. :lol:

His max sinker was faster than his max fastball and there was less than 2 mph difference between is fastball, sinker and cutter? That seems a little fishy to me.

Actually, Kenny Williams traded for Edwin Jackson with the intention of flipping him to the Nationals for Adam Dunn. It fell through.

Well, I think we can officially get rid of the idea that Sox fans are any different than Cubs fans.

Numbers seem to be giving you a hard time.

Also, these pitch trackings aren't an exact science. Besides, fastballs, sinkers, and cutters are all considered 'types of fastballs.'
