Giants' Jeff Samardzija: Will be fourth starter this spring
Samardzija has been named the fourth starter in manager Bruce Bochy's spring training rotation and he should occupy that spot on Opening Day as well, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis:
No surprises here, as the top four of San Francisco's rotation had been known heading into spring training -- it was simply a matter of what order they would be slotted in. Samardzija had a bit of a rocky ride in the first year of his five-year contract, but the end results were solid (3.81 ERA) and a huge step in the right direction after his abysmal 2015 campaign.
