... Lion in Oil looks at the so far wasteful signing of Jeff Samardzija . The season hasn't fared much better for Samardzija since then. He's started 11 games thus far into the 2007 campaign, winning none. He's carrying 5.40 ERA, with a .333 opponents' batting average and 21 strikeouts through 55 innings. On the plus side, his walks and home runs allowed are good, although the walks may be low because the hitters are getting really good pitches to smack around. Jeff, however, is set for life. Even after agent fees and taxes, Samardzija likely put about $5 million in the bank, and even with a conservative investment, he should be looking at $250,000 a year income for the rest of his life. And since he's not playing football, he'll be able to enjoy it pain free!
