Bud Norris Scouting Report:
Bud Norris had an up-and-down year as a poor start resulted in a demotion to the Atlanta Braves bullpen, and he came close to being let go by the organization. However, he caught a second wind in June and actually raised enough value for the Braves to flip him to the Dodgers for a decent prospect.
Since that time, Norris has made four appearances for the Dodgers, and hasn't pitched particularly well as he's allowed 14 runs over 16 innings pitched. His last time out was in a relief appearance where he recorded just over an inning of work allowing one run on two hits -- one homer -- while he walked none and struck out one on the 22nd against the Cardinals.
