<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:">But I’ll be very surprised if adding Jose Veras is enough to move you out of last place in saves (and that’s giving you the benefit of the doubt that he holds onto the job). If you’re serious
about gaining a point or two, I’d go looking for one more guy. You might want to talk to Mr. Kerber – he’s got Balfour. But it’s going to take considerably more than Bud Norris to pry him away. I might try to tempt him with Jarrod Dyson. He just might
like that.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">I definitely understand why my trade does not seem to make much sense for my team, so I will quickly offer a defense of the trade (or at least my thinking behind it). I absolutely needed a closer and was not willing to pay the price
the Brats wanted for Perkins. Norris may have been a slightly high price for a closer on the worst team, but I do think he will at least hold the job all year because the Astros have no incentive to audition anyone else. Also, my pitching staff is a lot
of guys (Weaver, Hellickson, Anderson, even Porcello hopefully) who will post solid ERA/WHIP numbers so Norris stands to only blow up their progress. It is also entirely possible that Norris is unplayable a month or so into the season. Finally, if my team
is going to compete at all this year, I can't afford to post a zero in saves. Hopefully the few saves Veras will offer will at least boost me up slightly from the saves cellar. My team is always a work in progress though so don't think I'm done yet!</div>
