Daniel Norris likely up to the majors for the BP in September

[o2cui2i]

I can understand it when guys are 21-22, their bodies are starting to get to the point where their done growing, don't baby them. I'm fine with babying the 16-17-18 year old guys.

 

pretty much. add innings every year and get them finishing their own games when they get to AAA

[John_Havok]

Facts are that if you have 10 decent pitching prospects n the minors less than half will become major league pitchers. The reason to believe in Norris is scouts rate him so high and he has succeeded at high levels in the minors. The issue I have is his innings limit next year. proper development means he comes up to the majors being able to go 180 to 200 innings

 

Yeah, and he's just passing 105 innings this year now. So, say he finishes around 140 this year, he'd max out around 180 next year.

Norris is off to a hot start tonight. 5 Ks after 2 innings.

In 8 innings with the #Bisons, Daniel Norris has 15 strikeouts, allowing just 2 hits. #BlueJays

With those numbers, we will definitely see him in September.

And on that same topic, we might also see Kendall Graveman as well, as he is dominating AAA as well with a 1.42 ERA, 10/3 K/BB ratio.

[JaysFan4Ever]

Sorry this year went the crap even after a promising 2/3s so here's another guy who will be an anchor to our staff unless we decided to trade him for another Reyes contract. *tongue and cheek )

[John_Havok]

That would be "tongue in cheek"

Norris allows a lead off single, promptly strikes out the side. 10 (!) strikeouts in just 4 innings of work. FB 96-94, nasty curves. WOW

[kgm1]

180 isn't too bad but i thought the increase was 30 per year .

 

BTW Sent you an offer . Was it that bad or did you not get it.

[bronson44]

Call him up. Happ to the pen. Daniel Norris is ascending

[GD]

I, for one, welcome our new overlord.

I replied but who the hell knows if you'll ever get it with yahoo mail. I declined but it was a fair offer. I like the power upside of my guy a bit better, plus my MIF with Bogaerts and Santana seems okay for now.

 

I was wondering why you didn't already have him in your lineup.

[John_Havok]

Finished with 13 K over 5.2 innings, 85 pitches.

Norris, Hutchison, and Stroman are a pretty exciting trio for next year.

[John_Havok]

Bisons on a roll, 18-7 over their last 25.

Which is quickly mitigated by seeing Dickey and Buerhle as the other two arms.

Buehrle out and a legit top-tier arm in and the rotation is pretty legit. Easier said than done obviously though.

[John_Havok]

Yup. Bye to Buerhle and hello to Lester.

 

Dreaming though, AA will never land a big fish in FA.

Sexy.

[GD]

That's fappable.

[BTS]

That's fappable.

 

Then you realize that the most likely scenario is:

 

Dickey

Hutchison

Stroman

Buehrle

Sanchez

[John_Havok]

Scherzer, Shields, Lester, Iwakuma all available in the offseason if no extensions are done prior.

 

Lester can't get a QO, the other 3 surely will.

 

Iwakuma would likely come cheaper than the other three. Great FB numbers, doesn't walk guys....

Have I ever told you that I don't like you?

[BTS]

Scherzer, Shields, Lester, Iwakuma all available in the offseason if no extensions are done prior.

 

Lester can't get a QO, the other 3 surely will.

 

Kuma has a $7 million team option for next year. The other three would be amazing though.

Daniel Norris is f***ed. Good God.

 

I'm never seen a Jays prospect rocket through the Minors like this. We are witnessing something special, folks.

[BTS]

There actually some decent secondary options this year too: Liriano, McCarthy, Masterson, Hammel.

Weird, cots doesn't have the team option listed on the main list with their asterisk. No brainer to pick up that option.

I wonder what Kuma would get if he were a free agent this year? He's a clear #1 caliber arm, but also 34 next year. 3/60?
