Hidden beneath some of the bad surface stats recently posted by Bud Norris is an elite collection of skills that haven't been able to translate into shiny stats due to extreme bad luck with his H%, S%, and hr/f rates.
After picking up his first win as a starter, Dylan Bundy could remain in the rotation for the rest of the season. Plus updates on Chris Sale, Nick Ahmed, Mike Mayers, Julio Teheran and more.
Our trio muses about Pomeranz/Espinoza, the lack of hitters changes teams so far, and some below-the-radar possibilities that could surface in the next week.
Dexter Fowler's stay on the DL is over. Plus, updates on Tyler Skaggs, the Mariners' SS situation, Matt Wieters, Joey Rickard, Evan Gattis, Jesse Hahn and more.
With Matt Carpenter and Jhonny Peralta sidelined, Jedd Gyorko has stepped up his game, and could be a fixture in the lineup for the foreseeable future. Plus, Josh Bell getting reps in right field, and more from around the division.
