DFA Bud Norris...

[InTheWinColumn!]

But if we trade him and another team turns him into a staff ace, it will literally be the worst trade ever since Glen Davis, and we simply can't have that happen.

I see what you did there, but in all seriousness I don't think there are two Oriole pitchers that are complete and total opposites of one another when it comes to stuff, potential, and what now looks to be career paths than Bud Norris and Jake Arrieta.

Dan kept him on the team.

So? The great Showalter could make it work. That poster said so himself.

Yeah but Ubaldo looked like toast most of last season until the very end and he has had a bounce back season. Who's to say Bud isn't capable of it too?

He'll be a free agent in a few months, so I don't care if he bounces back. It won't be with the O's.

Ubaldo was a long term investment. Norris isnt.

I'm on board with DFA'ing Bud. Ship him out of here and bring up Tyler Wilson.

If he is still here to bring up.

Can we pay some team to take him??!

My best guess is that Bud is still around because of a desperate hope that he can be tossed into a package (with the Orioles paying his salary) that can be traded for a modest OF upgrade. That may be part of the reason he pitched last night. I expect, and sure hope, he's not on the 25-man by the end of today.

He should've been gone weeks ago. It's ridiculous. When we miss the playoffs by two games it'll be very frustrating thinking of Norris exploding for four months while better pitchers sat in Norfolk.

We don't care if he bounces back next year. He's in a walk year. With Ubaldo we HAD to get him right otherwise 3 more long years of Ubaldo Winter.

@Orioles: Additionally, the Orioles have designated RHP Bud Norris for assignment.

Wish he would have been DFA before last night, but regardless good riddance
