Chicago Cubs Draft Notre Dame WR

8
Vote

The Chicago Cubs drafted University of Notre Dame WR Jeff Samardzija in the fifth round of the 2006 MLB Draft. Besides catching balls for the Fighting Irish, Samardzija is a talented pitcher. The multi-talented Samardizija has promised to return to the Notre Dame for his senior year, even if he plays minor league ball for the Cubs in the summer.

He's a lock to go in the top 10 of the NFL draft if neither he nor Brady Quinn is injured. The leverage he had made him fall really far.

Pitcher for the Cubs...it's like crossing the talent of Jackson with the ill spirited bad luck of Woods and Prior. Maybe he can play curling in the off season and Bocce Balls during his DL visit. My vote is to stay away from the Cubs; they tend to turn players into rehab patients for Northwester Memorial Hostpital med-students :`( We'll see...Cubs need change!

He can go down in the category of "NFL Players Drafted by a Hopeful MLB Team" along with Tom Brady, who was drafted as a catcher by Toronto. Does anyone think he's really going to play for the Cubbies? Yeah, right. "OK, NFL.....pitching for the Cubs. NFL.....pitching for the Cubs." Boy, that's a tough decision.

Maybe he can get a contract with DA BEARS...we need offensive help. What a deal; Bears and the Cubs...now we just need Goldylox and a bowl of porridge. Hell, he could probably play for the Bulls too, its not like they sign talent anyways.

Does anyone else sense that the Cubs drafted him for the "Luck of the Irish" and now we're all left to watch Samardzija end up with a Theismann-like injury in a "I don't think they make 'Sorry our coach got crushed by two thousands pounds of irony' Hallmark cards" incident? Anyone?

The only thing I can think of anymore when someone mentions Smardizja is the image of him looking back to taunt defensive backs that he'd beaten for a touchdown. He's a punk, and I hope the Cubs are happy with him.
