O's get Bud Norris

[olehippi]

This trade leaves me feeling kind of .....blah. I think Bud Norris is basically a Hammel or Feldman #5 clone. Hope I'm wrong.

I'm not really scared of the prospects we gave up coming back to haunt us (though I do think DD is getting pretty loose with the draft picks/money). However, I don't see the general OH love for Bud Norris. He's not a great pitcher and I don't see how he's much better than what we have currently (Hammel, S. Johnson, Britton, etc). How long is he under team control?

Love it! Even with Hader

[Ripken]

Hoes is inconsequential. If it's one of Hader or a pick that's still good. I hope it's not both.

Gotta wonder if there is something up with Hammel that they just haven't shared yet. Well, besides what we know about his performance thus year.

This trade goes against everything I ever thought about Dan Duquette and Local Talent

So this has probably been discussed but is Houston a pitcher's park?

[UMDTerrapins]

Don't like his away ERA, but Houston is also tied for dead last in MLB in fielding percentage. O's defense should help him a little.

It's both.

Not happy to see Hader go, I know odds are he won't amount to anything in the bigs but always a bit sad to see a great local story end.

This trade wouldnt have been made if Steve Johnson or Wada or Britton or Hammel had stepped up and been somebody.

This trade wouldnt have been made if Steve Johnson or Wada or Britton or Hammel had stepped up and been somebody.

Or Bundy had been healthy, or Arrieta held down a spot, or Gausman had been ready.

[atomic]

This trade is a failure. Hader and the draft pick are too much. IMO

The Orioles need starters for next year. Hammel will be gone. They don't have a bunch of guys in the minors. Blame for Mcphail for this one.

[Slade-OH]

That said, I'm fine about sending Hoes off. No room for him in a crowded OF. However, I'm extremely dissapointed about seeing Hader go.
