Maybe he comes up when Gunnar gets the call lol 

Truth to this. Nowhere for him to play with Gunnar getting lots of 2B reps right now. Gunnar's getting the call. It's obvious. Just super super impatient and wish there was a little more sense of urgency. Sounds stupid to all of us but they reaaaallyyy value Odor's arm and double play capabilities and seems the reps at 2B are important to them even tho he's a great left side defender. Tangent. Sorry.

The week after Gunnar gets the call, Norby gets the call. Whenever that is.

FWIW Norby is playing LF tonight.  Looks like he has logged 8 games out there in his MiLB career.   

Well, he’s getting time in LF. Would love to see how his bat progresses next year and who emerges as the best rookie hitter from the Westburg, Gunnar, Ortiz and Cowser group?

If Norby plays September in Norfolk he should accumulate ~50-60ABs.  That puts him on pace to crack MLB next year around halfway through the season once he's covered the Elias 200.  He will be pushing Westburg, Ortiz, & Urias and ready to go if any of those three slip or get injured.

Who has a brighter future? Norby or Westburg? 

Tough one.  Defensively Westburg has a huge edge.   I even think Westburg has more power but Norby might be the better pure hitter and able to get to his power more consistently.   Norby seems to be hitting a different level right now.
