Last year the Chicago Cubs gave us a glimpse of their back stop future as they featured Geovany Soto – who promptly hit .389 in 18 games in 2007 - and has now become one of the best Fantasy catchers in Major League Baseball in 2008.

Are we perhaps witnessing the San Francisco Giants version of Mr. Soto by way of the stalky switch hitting Pablo Sandoval? Hmmm…only time will tell.

Pablo Sandoval has been raking since being called up on August 14^th. The question that now exists – where should the Giants play him?

Sandoval has already become the NL's consummate Fantasy catching Swiss Army knife as he’s played not only catcher – but also is being experimented at both first base as well as third base.

That useful position versatility may make him an ideal 2nd Catcher for your Fantasy playoff run.

NOTE: The Giants have Bengie “Mo’ Money” Molina signed on for one more year in San Francisco – so catching duties may not be in Sandoval’s immediate future as a Giant – but if the big Venezuelan can continue to hit like he has in his first month in the big leagues – fire up the kayaks in McCovey Cove – ‘cause the Giants will most definitely find a place for Sandoval in their power starved lineup.

WaiverSharks.com just hopes he plays enough games in the C spot – enabling him to retain catcher eligibility for most Fantasy leagues in 2009.

WaiverSharks.com appropriately refers to the former Notre Dame star wide out by the same name his college fans knew him by.

We simply call him “Shark”

We won’t go into detail explaining the virtues of Jeff Samardzija’s record breaking dual sport college career at Notre Dame.

We will suggest you consider picking up the Chicago Cubs talented athlete before it’s too late.

Fantasy Baseball players outside of the Wrigley Field fanatics have been luke warm to the man whose surname spelling has given us as many fits late in the season as his fellow team mate (Kosuke Fukudome) gave us early in the year.

Some skepticism exists since the tall (6’5”) righty darted through the minors so quickly. However - during his first 8 major league appearances we can all agree on one thing for sure – this kid can deal some serious heat!

There are still some concerns over his control - and question marks regarding how well he will adapt to major league high pressure situations make Samardzija still somewhat of a flyer.

But thus far he has shown Cubbies faithful a reason to rejoice in the 5 year multi-million dollar deal they signed him to.

If you play in a league that features holds you can consider grabbing the youngster immediately just based on his strikeouts potential.

It’s not inconceivable Kerry Wood could head back to the DL at some point this year so saves chances could arise. And it’s also worth noting that there have been some rumors that Samardzija could see some time in the starting rotation as early as this September.

WaiverSharks.com will most certainly be keeping this “Shark” on our Fantasy radars!
