    hes allowed 10 earned runs in 45 career innings pitched there...so he has an era of 2 at home...

    either you have something wrong, or i don't understand what you're saying, but there's no way norris has only pitched 45 innings at MMP since 2011.

    Despite what Limatime said, MMP is not a big hitters park

    MMP is really a neutral park, still crazy though. Common misconception because of the short porch Landry's Crawford boxes.

    It looked that way early on, and I think that is why the myth exists.

    I read somewhere yesterday or the day before which mentioned that Norris's home ERA was 1.83 since the start of 2011 which is the best in the major leagues. If I find the link, I'll post it.

    EDIT:

    Guess I read this shortly after last night's game:

    "The righthander — whose 1.83 home ERA since the start of the 2012 campaign is the lowest in MLB..."

    i assumed you meant since the start of 2011, but still pretty shocking to me. downright wandy-esque. had no idea that he's been that dominant at home.

    ha, i missed that, that was a coincidence...i was actually referring to astros123's post saying bud was best home pitcher since 2011.

    although he's probably not too far off from that distinction.

    I'm sure Bud will go, not sure who else really has much value? If we trade Altuve or Castro, that would be a horrible sign of how they plan to run the organization

    Don't see altuve getting traded honestly. Either harrell or bud getting traded makes most smart. Wonder what we could get for bud honestly?

    It depends who else is on the market, but I would think Bud, would fetch a pretty nice haul. Not quite what Pence got us, but still very nice.

    That's the only way we trade Bud imo. We're not in fire sale mode like we were with Bourn, Oswalt, Berkman, etc... If the deal is really good we should go for it though.

    I'm convinced we could flip Carlos Corporan for something. He's having a good year, is solid defensively, and can bat from both sides of the plate. He's Arb eligible in 2015 (according to baseball-ref) and a Free Agent in 2018.

    He's 29 years old and probably doesn't figure in to the "next great Astros team." I'm not sure what we can get for him, but I'd be surprised if he sticks around.
