Considering this is his second year of year round baseball. And he's never spent a full year in the minors despite coming out of college being extremely raw. I'd say it's safe to say he was rushed. I already went over this. I already admitted he was rushed to the majors. But like I said, that's not what I'm basing my opinion on. I'm basing my opinion on his crappy minor league numbers. He wasn't rushed when he was getting lit up at A+ at age 22 and at AA at 23. Anyways, even an unpolished/learning pitcher who is supposed to have strikeout stuff misses bats. Something Samardzija hasn't done in his minor league career. Oh and this is not his second year of year round baseball. Not sure where that came from. Plus it's a weak excuse anyways.
