Boyd’s pretty awful, I expect Norris to live up to his hype though, love the kid!

How do you come to the conclusion that Boyd is awful? His minor league numbers look good.
scissormetimbers
because I’ve watched him at his best and worst
Ted
If you watched his second MLB start (which was also his last) he lasted 0.0 innings and gave up 7 ER on 6 H and 1 BB. It’s silly to judge his whole future off of that, but it did leave a pretty sour taste with Jays fans.

You got a great kid in Norris

Matt Boyd is far from awful

looks like they might not turn into the Phillies after all!!

Gee, Ya Think? They never were going to turn into the Phillies. Isn’t it amazing how they have no farm system, yet Jake Thompson, one of the Key pieces in the Hamels deal, was from the Tigers system. Also, how did a talented catcher, like James McCann, not get ranked in the top 100? I find it interesting that a player not ranked with the Tigers becomes the #1 prospect for Tampa Bay upon arriving in the David Price deal. Just maybe these rankings tend to cater to the big markets, like Boston. That could be why so many prospects from those teams make the rankings but fail to live up to the hype.

I disagree. Cubs, Indians, Twins and Astros had the top 4 prospects in Buxton (twins), Bryant (cubs) , Lindor (Indians), Correa (Astros), I wouldnt say those are all big market teams.

Chicago is a small market? In what world? Especially the Cubs, a team that everyone knows, routinely sells out, and has TV deals?

That one start from Price was like christmas morning to us jays fans. Loved it.

Agreed, and it was nice to see Norris play well also. DD maybe colluded with AA as he is set to take over for Beeston.

The knock on Norris is his lack of desire to be the best he can be. Instead of training, eating and sleeping right he goofed around in his bread van down by the water.
He is young and could learn but that drive does not appear to be there yet to be the best he can be.
