East Coast Bias favorite Bud Norris:

Bud Norris is one of my guys. Just like Lance Berkman is one of Chuck's guys and Ed Wade is one of Ron's guys. Unfortunately, Curt nabbed him with the last pick in the last round. Although I appreciate how fitting it was to have Bud fill the role of Mr. Irrelevant, it was a crushing blow to the morale of Marginal Futility. Not since a young Jorge de la Rosa was flying under the radar with a K/IP over 1 has this kind of talent been so unappreciated. Granted, the wins are hard to come by in Houston but he's been slapping up solid performance after solid performance - while hitting a Jason Marquis-like .286.

Among his comparables through the age of 25 are luminaries such as Cliff Lee, Micah Owings, and Boof Bonser. Be on the lookout for a blockbuster Bud Norris trade in ECB over the summer...
I have De La Rosa, Hanrahan (12.6 K/9 last season), and a guy who throws 106 on my team, but the only guy who has more strikeouts than innings is Bud.
ReplyDeleteWent to Yahoo fantasy page this morning and saw a big picture of Bud Norris. Let the record show I beat them. Also, let the record show that not only does Bud have a 1+K/IP this year, but for his entire career. Impressive.
