Norris scratched from tonight's start

I hope this puts you guys over the top in the division but I'm not too sure. Safe to say that Freddy is pissed right now?

Freddy had his chance

Competition.

Is there a spot for Hammel in the bullpen?

Josh Hader has been talked about, as @danconnollysun said. But some questions about his medicals. Possibility there's a switch.

Jason Hammel: 6.2 k/9, 3.4 BB/9, 4.66 xFIP. Bud Norris: 6.4 K/9, 3.1 BB/9, 4.49 xFIP. Difference has been HR/FB rate. It's an upgrade, maybe


I hope the O's defense helps Norris, but we'll see how much of an upgrade.

Duquette able to get Norris without trading any top tier prospects. Houston also really wanted LHP Zach Britton who is currently in Triple A

most other teams understands that britton needs to be given a true shot and not up and down .

Fangraph's eval of Norris...

Orioles Acquire Bud Norris and his Platoon Problems

Future bullpen arm at $3M+ next year. Sure hope he helps the O's make the playoffs this year.

Practically anyone would help (read: addition by subtraction of Hammel)...

Britton would be good for the Astros who aren't in win-now mode and can let him be up and down while staying in the rotation.

Norris is just so fat and looks like a hick to me

on that note i dub the pontoon II

 

[Mr. Oriole]

Norris knows all about the Orioles. During his media introduction, he called Adam Jones "Pac Man".

Anyway, here is what Norris had to say to the Astros MLB beat writer after the trade...

Norris excited for opportunity in Baltimore

Hope he can help...especially his new teammate "Pac Man".

Norris sort of looks like Hunter.

Haven't heard Adam Jones referred to as Pac Man since the Canadian custom agents wouldn't let him travel with the O's to Toronto a few years ago because they thought he was the NFL bad boy.

Is Norris Canadian?
