Cubs likely to call up Samardzija

[ndirish84]

With Kerry Wood on the DL, Samardzija is expected to be called up. Being a diehard ND fan, I have to ask.. Will Jeff have any fantasy relevance at all this season?? I would love to have him on my team.

He's been mediocore at best in the minors...I don't have high expectations but you never know.

[Havok1517]

He pitched much better in AAA than in A or AA ball. I think you could expect some decent K numbers but he'll likely get hit hard at times too.

mediocre at best?

his AAA stats: 4-1, 3.13 ERA 1 CG 40 K's in 37.1 IP 1.29 WHIP

nothing too amazing.. but i think it would easily qualify for mediocre hah

Yeah those 37 IP are impressive! Did you look at the rest of his career?

I looked at the rest of his career for you....

His college career
240.1 IP
236 hits
102 ER
84 BB
165 K (less than 2-1 K/BB ratio)
6.18 K/9
3.82 ERA
1.33 WHIP

His minor league career before the awesome 37 IP he has in AAA this year...
247.2 IP
270 hits
122 ER
98 BB
126 K (awful K/BB ratio)
4.58 K/9
4.43 ERA
1.48 WHIP


I might be a little nice in saying he has been mediocore...

Is it bad that the Cubs have a better wide receiver prospect in their minor league system than the Bears have on the professional team?
