Sam Is A Starter

I’ve been in favor of making Samardzija the No. 5 ever since Jason Marquis was part of the Cubs’ rotation.

However, the last thing I want to see is Samardzija transitioning from the bullpen to the rotation mid-season: think Joba Chamberlain.

There’s simply no need to delay big Sam from the inevitable: the guy is going to be a starting pitcher.
