Is Shark out of options?

[Old Style]

If so, do you think he would make it through waivers so we can ship his ass to Iowa?

[sweetpeteman]

Does anybody really care if he makes it through anyways?

[CubColtPacer]

As far as I know, the Cubs can't outright Samardzija to Iowa because of the no-trade clause. They either have to keep him or release him.

Not particularly.

Thaks for the info. Maybe he can go play football. Oh, wait.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I I hope he invested some of that 13 mil wisely. If we let him go, surely someone will take a flyer out on him. I wouldnt be surprised if multiple teams have been scouting him all spring training.

[davell]

I can't remember who it was(maybe one of the Bruces) but they said that Shark was basically as safe as Dempster as far as making the opening day roster.

[CUBZ99]

Watching him pitch during the game that he blew the other day, it was frustrating to see how much movement he was getting on his pitches and the fact that hitters were still squaring up on the ball.

[Soul]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm looking forward to moving on from Shark.

[ChiCubsFan]

Yeah, I don't even care about him anymore. Let him go for nothing. It was a good chance to take, just didn't work out. Cut your ties rather than waste a roster spot on him.

[TruffleShuffle]

for $10 million it was sure as hell not a good chance to take.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

If he sucks, sabr wins, right? That was the final litmus test.

[Omar]

DAE think he should've tried for the NFL?

[imb]

"does anyone else" has an abbreviation? really?

 

No, he shouldn't have tried football. He's made 10 mil or whatever, with no risk of debilitating injury, and he's already surpassed the average NFL career in terms of money and length.

Yeah, many people here browse Reddit or Digg and it is a popular acronym there.

[daske17]

I think his best bet is to buy a bar in Wrigleyville full of lovable regulars, a acerbic waitress, a bonehead countryboy and Kirstie Alley.

[Illini Iceman]

I can't really think of another guy in camp that won't make the team that should definitively get the spot over him. He obviously hasn't developed into a dominant guy but I think he can still be a serviceable middle reliever.

That sounds like a great idea for a sitcom.

And he has a better than 50/50 shot of living to the age of 60.

Come to think of it.... so do I. :roll:

That is exactly why I force my hair to fall out.
