I want to wish Kyle Stowers and Connor Norby success in Marlins team . You two been paying your dues for awhile at Norfolk, here’s hoping you both get opportunities there . 
 

Question . Why did Marlins sent Norby down to their AAA team ?   I don’t understand that move . 

They want to try him at 3rd Base.

Good luck Gents … I still think we end up regretting moving Norby. I agree that the brass never gave Stowers a real shot.

Man I had not heard that Norby was in AAA. Imagine going from being a starter (and it looked like it might finally stick for a while for him) on one of the best teams in the majors, back to AAA for one of the worst. That’s a tough beat for Norby. 
 

Meanwhile Stowers 0-4 with 4 Ks last night. Tough debut!

I would think players like Norby and Stowers appreciate being moved to an organization that will provide them opportunities to display their talents rather than waste away in the minors.  Let's be honest both Stowers and Norby were blocked here.  Now at least they can play in the bigs (and better yet in the NL!).

Except Norby IS in the minors, after being traded directly off the ML team here. I hope Norby is very mentally tough because that’s a tough pill to swallow.

They have nowhere to put him

I’ll always remember that Stowers home run. How joyful that was! Hope he gets a lot more.

And Norby’s first Homer, too. All best to both of them.
