A strong winter in Hawaii was sufficient to get Norris jumped past high-A Salem right to Double-A this year. He had a 4.56 ERA last year while making all but one of his starts at low-A Lexington, but he struck out 119 and allowed just 89 hits in 102 2/3 innings. He projects as a setup man for the Astros, though he'll have a chance of making it as a starter if he improves his command........... from Rotoworld.

Probably not, but it was worth a stab at least. By the way, I didn't realize Chuck Norris was from Ryan, Oklahoma. I've heard of Ryan, Oklahoma before and I know it's a really small town. An old Western Movie I saw on AMC was filmed there... Here's some interesting facts about Ryan, Oklahoma according to Wikipedia... Ryan, Oklahoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It seems like I need to move to Ryan, Oklahoma. It's a small town with my name, Chuck Norris was born there, and my odds of finding a date are really good. I'd probably be in high demand with the female crowd there... Of course, I have no idea what the average single woman in Ryan, Oklahoma looks like. Perhaps like this? Anyway, sorry to go off-topic... Please tell me more about Bud Norris if you can. He seems like a promising prospect with room to grow and develop as a pitcher.

If he can hone another pitch, like a change, then we should be trying to keep him in the rotation. I already think Gervacio and Paulino are destined for the pen, one because of makeup and one because of health concerns. We need another solid starter and the fact that they've pushed Norris so quickly should tell you something about what the team thinks of him.

If he keeps this up he might even be able to make it to the bigs by the end of the year (though doing so would only make sense if we're in contention and need one more arm). He is suppossed to have a great fastball and curve, its just a matter of developing other pitches that can keep him in the rotation and out of the pen as a 2 pitch pitcher.
