As a starter, Shark was good in 2012 (era+ 107), bad in 2013 (89), very good in 2014 (125), terrible in 2015 (79). He's going to want to be paid as a #2 pitcher. That lands him pretty solidly in the $13-16M a season area. He's not worth that, in my opinion. I'd much prefer to stick with Hammel at 3 and get a $10M pitcher at 4. Keep Hendricks or the next farm system kid at 5.
We've all seen Samardzija's best. When he's completely on, he's a solid #2 on just about any team. The problem is he'll go an entire season of being shitty. He's done it at every level of baseball. He's had a good year, then terrible. His inconsistency makes it hard to spend the money he's going to want on him.
