magits Verified Member Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Norris absolutely dominated A+ as a 21 year old. Now he's dominating AA. After 3 starts, in 16.1 innings, he has 25 strikeouts and 6 walks, with a 3.31 ERA. We've done this before with Hutchison and Alvarez. If Norris can stick, we can hold on to our prospects, or deal for a hitter or 2B who can hit LHP. Ideally I'd want Norris to replace Dickey, but AA doesn't have the balls to do that, so he could replace Happ.
HERPDERP Old-Timey Member Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 You are rushing him. Just cause he has good numbers doesn't mean he has nothing to learn. For all we know, he's dominating because he's facing 3 weak teams or teams heavy with lefties. Or they are trying to adjust to a new player.
Orgfiller Old-Timey Member Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 There's no need to rush him and potentially hurt his development just because we need a starter at the moment. It hasn't been smooth sailing throughout the minors for him like it was for Stroman, so we need to let him prove himself further and he will get the promotions when/if he does.

Daniel Labude Jays Centre Contributor Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Maybe after allstar break if we dont trade for someone
Atothe Old-Timey Member Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Yeah right Morrow and Redmond will get a chance before Norris
Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 possible September callup to get his feet wet out of the bullpen

Orgfiller Old-Timey Member Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 James Rodriguez was called up for Columbia and he's only 18. He's going to win Golden boot too. Every other sport is really relevant to baseball, good post.

BigBounceyBlueBalls Old-Timey Member Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 You would do well to learn to read or shut the f*** up ! Your the biggest dick wad on this forum. Good thing you are protected by mods! You are a perfect example of why this forum will cease to grow! f*** you little penis man!
Caper Verified Member Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 It depends what his development is. If he is only allowed throwing certain pitches and not others... then leave him down there. If he is currently allowed to throw what he wants and his command is good. Then let him come up for a spot start. I see nothing wrong with that. People seem to think that if he were to come up... and god forbid a mlb player gets a hit off him, he will just curl up and die. Henderson Alverez was fine when he pitched his first time up..... if he had even an iota of a secondary offering he would have dominating. I think Norris has that. Even if he comes up and gets hits hard. He knows what he has to work on. I think it would be great if he came up. Just not sure that at this point he would be a huge upgrade over any of the 5.
