The math checks out.

Norris beasted in his start at Detroit. I’d make that trade all day again if I had to.

2014 was a down hitting year.  I’m fairly confident we could have signed/added a pitcher that would have been similar to Norris and kept Hader and the pick.

The problem with that trade is they were chasing a ghost in 2013.  That team was never going to the playoffs and they should have been more patient for than add a middling starter for long term assets on a team that wasn’t going anywhere. There was no reason to rush that.

What a world we live in when 6.1 innings with 6 K's 2 hits and 2 walks is "beasting".

So what would you call the four runs over 4.1 innings against KC?

He was fine.  He was pretty much the same as the rest of the rotation in 2014. The O's had five starters with an ERA+ between 108 and 122.  They had four starters with a rWAR between 1.9 and 2.8.

Norris was one of them.

I was at that game and very happy Norris took the mound that day. Still, in retrospect I'd much rather have 6 years of Hader, no question.

Fisher to the Brewers

Well the book is closed here. I think we could’ve covered CF if Hays got hurt for a short period of time with Mullins or McKenna. Fisher could’ve offered a cheaper alternative to Santander or Mancini in the OF, while allowing us to acquire more future pieces.
