Carrie Muskat[/url]"]10/10 Samardzija update

 

Jeff Samardzija gave up one run on three hits and two walks over four innings, striking out two, in Mexicali's 13-4 loss to Hermosillo on Friday night. It was Samardzija's first Winter Ball game, and the first game of the Mexican Winter League. The right-hander did not get a decision. Matt Camp was 3-for-4 and Brad Snyder 1-for-4 for Mexicali, which is managed by Cubs' Triple-A Iowa manager Bobby Dickerson.

Jeff Samardzija would be on 4-days rest tonight but I'm not sure how Mexicali's rotation stacks out since they had a day off since Samardzija's first start.

What type of ceiling does Snyder have? 4th OF? Possible platoon guy? Looks like he has good plate discipline 7/2 bb/k.

[Outshined_One]

I refuse to get excited for Jeff Samardzija.

[toonsterwu]

me neither.

 

as for snyder, he's at best, a lefty bat off the bench. doesn't make enough contact yet and swings away too much.

 

personally, i think he signs with another club this offseason. i guess i could see iowa bringing him back to give some punch to that lineup, but i think he moves on.

[Guest]

All I know is Lou loves him so he's going to have a strong chance at that 5th starter spot come March. He's not hurting himself thus far.

And obviously can never improve from his struggles last season.

He could improve, but I highly doubt he will. The Cubs will probably have him in the rotation to start the season however with the money they have invested in him.

Gut instinct, or do you actually have reasons?
