Re: Jeff Samardzija is (or was) pretty awesome

FWIW, he apparently only used the curve in his final 3 June starts, and not his first two, according to this article:

I like Shark, and I'd be very happy if he stayed with the team... but if a team is willing to give up appropriate value in players/prospects for him, I won't mourn his loss.

I just figured this needed to be bumped. He was fairly decent on Opening Day.

I think my favorite part was that he struggled with his command and was still dominant. He didn't have his A game, but he was able to produce nearly perfect results.
