2048-7 Normore is No More?

Post by indiansfan » Sun Nov 07, 2021 2:13 pm

Normore is No More?

After 4 solid years in the starting lineup, DH Matt Normore was relegated to a bench role this year with the acquisition of Larrry Stinson. Normore, a career .309 hitter for the Pioneers, was a doubles machine hitting 144 from 2045-2047 and has an .823 OPS while wearing a Calgary uniform.

This year he only started 23 games while pinch hitting 76 times. Of course he excelled at that too and was the premier pinch hitter in the league batting .347 with an .882 OPS. He hit .360 with runners in scoring position.

“I can’t say enough about Matt,” manager Terry Cochran said. “He did everything we asked of him, he didn’t complain and if we had lost anyone to injury he would have been there to fill in. Fortunately for us we stayed pretty healthy, but for Matt he got to ride the pine a lot.”

Normore is going to become a free agent. He has been asking for a $7 million extension which wouldn’t fit under the team’s cap, nor would it make sense for a bench player. Attempts to deal him didn’t lead to anything as the DH market is pretty limited. However, somebody would be wise to sign this guy and put him in the lineup every day.

A solid player, but probably won't get what he's asking for in FA

What a terrible deal I made with Brett and Vegas when I sent him to the Hustlers for Bartolo Ortiz. Yikes

He looks like the kind of player you liked when you had Madison.

Yes he does. Probably why I got him in Portland for a short period. He'll probably end up in Sacramento

If it makes you feel any better, Vegas didn't get much from me when I traded for him. Came out of that deal real nice. Wish the guy could play a position.

Yeah, crazy to see a tall, lanky guy with speed not be able to have range and play any position.

He looks like the kinda player that would sign a large contract with Des Moines and immediately lose 60 points on his OBP the next season.
:cool: They say it don't be like it is, but it do!

I bet he'd sign a reasonable contract and play very well. I hated to let him go, the guy hits for average and doubles like crazy. I just can't warrant paying him a bunch just to pinch hit and I needed more power from DH.
