Norris would have likely lasted a little bit longer had it not been for his high pitch count of 116 when he was pulled. Over his last five starts, Norris has allowed just four earned runs over 30.2 innings of work while earning the win in four of the starts. His season ERA now sits at 3.34 to accompany 62 strikeouts and 22 walks.","date":"Sat May 26"},"fullName":"Bud Norris","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Norris could be one of the better pitching values of 2012 that no one will truly recognize. That's primarily because he's a member of the Astros; win potential might be lower there than for any of the other 29 big league teams, and that Norris is 27 years old with barely more than two years' experience means he's not likely to be traded into a better situation. He did, however, improve his ERA, WHIP and walk rate in 2011, and pitching in a low-pressure environment might further his growth. Norris' lack of a dominant pitch to use against lefties will probably assure that any breakout will fall beneath most mixed-league cutoffs; but he'll be an NL-only value who might have matchups appeal to some mixed-league owners.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":7.6,"playerRater15DAY":9.2,"positionRank":23}
