Bud Norris

[Angel Oracle]

Bud Norris ERA vs everyone other than the Angels last year was 4.92.  He's also got a 2014 salary of 5.3 Mil...  Trading assets for him and paying him that much seems like a really bad move.

 

I'd rather they pick up a guy that gets waived at the end of ST than offer anything for a 5.00 ERA guy.

Bud Norris, meet the 1966 Cardinals' Larry Jaster.

Jaster's 5 game stats vs the Raviners?    45 innings, 0.00 ERA, FIVE CG SHOs.

Jaster's stats vs. the rest of the NL?   106.2 innings, 4.63 ERA, 17 HRs allowed, in a big pitching era.

why does it seem so long ago that Bud Norris was an up and comer with St. Louis?????? Didn't he pitch a no hitter for the Cards or something like that?

 

that seems a lifetime ago now.........now he's an aging vet trying to hang on to a rotation spot somewhere.

my bad -- Norris was an up and comer with Houston -- I knew he played for them but thought he was also in the Cards organization.......WRONG. He never pitched for St. Louis -- I am thinking of some other young pitcher who came up with St. Louis and pitched a no hitter early on but didn't do much after that ---

 

and for the smart alecks, no, it's not Bobo Newsome, the no-hit wonder with the old St. Louis Browns.........(that would be a few years back......)
