#1 \| 130 days ago Seth (+)	Seeing as they have already committed $10 million (over 5 years) to him when he was drafted, you'd better hope you get something out of the guy. Whether he turns out to be great, average, or a bust, he's yet another example of why the MLB draft needs a major overall in the next CBA.

#2 \| 130 days ago OhYesYouWill (+)	+2 yup it really sucks when the guy has a 3.03 ERA in his last 6 AAA starts, striking out 40 in 37.1 IP additionally, it sucks when you allow 2 hits and one walk in six innings and strike out 9 guys in your last start gee as a Cubs fan I gotta wonder...what are they doing???? (if you're too stupid to understand sarcasm...then just think that i'm agreeing with the headline)

Kid's got nasty, nasty stuff. Lou put him into a tough situation, his first MLB appearance mind you, and pitched very well for two pressured innings. Turns out, relief pitchers give up runs from time to time. I know, I know, it's crazy. Even Mariano Rivera has done it. I'm not making this up, I swear.

Signed, A sad Indians fan. +1 Honestly the way his first three NL starts have gone...I think Rich Harden would be that reliever...allowing 8 hits, 2 runs, and striking out 30 guys in 17.1 IP? Sick...if the guy is on such a stringent pitch count (I imagine due to the whole "injury plagued" problem of his) why not make him a reliever (aka the closer) and Samardzija a starter?
