    That is a really tough one. Buchholz has been outstanding this year and Samardzija was someone I was super high on coming into the season and while he hasn't been spectacular he has been very good.

    My gut tells me to go with Samardzija. There is no special analysis or hardcore data behind that. Just a feeling.

      Thanks. I am leaning towards Samardzija.

        Buchholz, they will probably be pretty even but the Cubs will remain terrible, so the wins will make a difference.

          I would go Samardzija. I think Buchholz is way outperforming his peripherals and over the course of the year is a likely candidate to see long DL time.
          Find that level above your head and help you reach it.

            Bucholz has the better team but the worse stuff. I would say Samardzija, but then again, you might have to spell his name enough times to make Bucholz better if you go with him.

              Neither name is probably spelled correctly very often! Hence the two "H's" hahaha

                  This is my thinking as well. They should both settle into ERAs in the low 3's and Samardzjia will have some more K's, but he'll have a hard time reaching double-digit wins whereas I could see Buchholz winning 14-16.

                    He might win that many by the all-star break with 6 so far. Another vote for Buchholz.

                      2010-2012 overall, Buchholz managed to keep his overall whip below 1.3 with a K/9 rate of about 6.3.
                      In 2012, from May 27 on, his K/9 was up to 7.3, with a whip of 1.12. And this year, he has 47 K in 44.2 IP, whip of 0.96.

                      So while I like both, I think Buchholz is likely to give the better overall performance.
