    I'd gladly give up a few marignal prospects for Norris if his price has dropped

    Doubtful they are looking for much more than a backup type.
    I think it can be Kelly Shoppach!
    He's a free agent now!

    Wouldn't mind Norris but he's not that big of an upgrade over our current starters.

    Would still like Frank to get another righty from the bullpen.

    DOB just tweeted that we weren't in on any SP in this limited market. Sounds like we would only take a definite upgrade, or we'll stand pat.

    I would like another relief pitcher just so the Braves can get rid of one of: Carpenter/Varvaro/Ayala

    I know when Maholm comes back, one of those will go down, so Wood will be in the pen. Another reliever means we only have to carry one of the above three. My pick would be Carpenter to fill in for Martinez' role like he has done thus far. I don't care too much for Varvaro or Ayala.

    Basically the same, Walden is the only righty who is solid in high leverage situations.

    Don't mind Varvaro but more around the 6th inning.

    I would imagine any reliever or bench bat we get will probably come in August. If we do anything today, it'll likely be a SP.

    Carpenter has grown on me. Especially after the work he did against Colorado the other night.

    Maybe the price has shortened on Norris, and Wren thinks he might can buy low, and he'll have a little more success in the NL East as opposed to the AL West. I don't think he'd be any better than what we've got at the top, but as we've learned, depth doesn't hurt.

    It's always funny to me how these baseball writers can get drastically different info from sources.

    Not keen to see renewed interest in Bud Norris. Looking at his career stats again, I can't help but feel he's not even an upgrade over Maholm. That's debatable, I suppose.

    Edit: Rosenthal just Tweeted that he's hearing the Braves aren't and haven't been in on Bud Norris, contrary to earlier reports today. Whew.

    At this point, I'll be really surprised if the Braves do anything today. I think they checked off their big thing by getting Downs

    I agree but I think of him as more of a 6th-7th inning guy. We need another high leverage righty IMO but always the August waiver deadline too.

    Unless one of the current starters gets hurt or the lead starts dwindling, dont expect Maholm to come back til September.

    Just stack your lineup with lefties and Norris is toast. Not sure why anybody would want him except for a 5th starter.

    Reading some stuff where the Rangers are open to trading Garza, who they just got.
