The Jeff Samardzija Defenestration Thread

[Eli]

At some point, this team won't have any major league talent, because Snork is going to murder them all in their sleep for failing to score a goddamn run for him.

I seriously hope they never score another run for him ever again.

Weird.

I think he means then Snork will kill all these chumps.

Oh, I get it!

Withdrawn, Apex. (||)

Or, that in a lost season, it would be "fun" to watch Snork go 0-25 with a 2.00 ERA

More like 0-10 before a trade but yeah.

Given the relatively low mileage on Samardzija's arm and his health to-date, should that be factored into his current value (whether it's for an extension or trade)? With basically every pitcher in the world getting hurt, there's got to be extra value in guys who project as healthier. I don't really know if it's possible to project health on pitchers, but I'm sure everyone is trying right now.

Then again, maybe he projects as less healthy because he throws so hard.

Mileage or not, I think anyone over 25 that hasn't had TJ yet feels a little safer.

Lock him up!

I can't even figure out what pitching prospect I'd feel comfortable trading him for. Archie Bradley is the highest-ranked guy, but he's scuffling along in AAA with decreased velocity (never a good sign). Others who could make sense in a deal are either too far away (Lucas Giolito, Washington) or already have an injury history (Aaron Sanchez, Toronto).

Quick, someone get Theo's secretary on the phone so we can let him know that we've changed our minds.

Now we love the Snork!

Snork for Carlos Gonzalez & Jon Gray. He's the ace the Rockies need to win the NL West.

Giolito has already had TJ disease too.

Well there you go.

Maybe they should change the rules of baseball so there are no pitchers?

Bleacher Nation has an article today about that...except not the CarGo part. Just Samardzija for Gray. And it was an article on an article written by some guy who writes in Denver.

I don't know this Mark Kiszla from Adam, but the fact that he gets his paychecks signed by the same people as Adrian Dater and Woody Paige suggests that I take this with a grain of salt.
