| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2012-01-20 14:00:00 | Derek Norris' ceiling in the majors? .260/.380/.450? (jamin67038 from Wichita, KS) | I'd take at least 20 points off that batting average and therefore all three. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-10-04 13:00:00 | Thoughts on Derek Norris?
(And by great in a uniform, did you mean that Mitchell's rounding into form again or just that his body is Verduccian) (JT from Michigan) | Mitchell just looks like an athlete; I didn't get a good look at his face, but I doubt he's Verduccian in that regard. As for Norris, I think he's a damn good prospect that gets mistakenly labeled as a damn great prospect. You have to love the patience/power combo, and the ability to play solid-average defense behind the plate makes him a very valuable prospect. But can he make enough contact for it to matter? The hit tool is better than he showed in '11. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-06-17 13:00:00 | Derek Norris = Mickey Tettleton? (jamin67038 from Wichita, KS) | That was KG's comp, and I think it makes sense. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-02-28 13:00:00 | Derek Norris drops from 28 to 41- any particular reason? (jamin67038 from Wichita, KS) | Needs to bounce back from the hand problems, needs to make more defensive adjustments. Ok, I've done two hours, and have 30 minutes left, so keep 'em coming! (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-03-02 13:00:00 | Speaking of catcher logjams, what should the Nats do and what do you think they will do? (Tim from VA) | I'd really want to let Flores prove that he's healthy. If that strands Ramos in Syracuse in the meantime, so be it, but I was a big Flores fan back in the day, and if he's sound, there's no better way to turn him back into a commodity than show him off first. Tough for Ramos? Sure, but then again, the future belongs to Derek Norris, even if that's coming at the back end of 2012 and beyond. (Christina Kahrl) |
| 2011-01-03 14:00:00 | KG - Loving the Top 11's and thanks for the Chat! Derek Norris' write-up really intrigued me, especially with the improvements defensively. Is he on your '11 breakout list and would .280+ avg. with 25+hr's be his ceiling in the majors? (Shane from Miami) | Yes on the breakout list, but I don't think he's a .280 hitter. More of a .250 type with big power and tons of walks. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-11-09 14:00:00 | You and Jason were talking about Derek Norris on the podcast. If he puts it all together is he a .280, 30Hr type? (Shane from Miami) | I think that's a bit high. I think .260-270 with 20+ HR on a ton of walks. That's incredible offense for a catcher. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-11-09 14:00:00 | Derek Norris looks great, plenty of people think Ramos is pretty good, and Jesus Flores is ambulatory in Venezuela. Should the Nats be trading one of the catching prospects? Who would matchup well to exchange for a starting pitcher? (Charlie from Bethesda, MD) | Remember when the Rangers had eight million catchers? Now they have none. Don't trade anyone, as you can never have enough catching. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-06-07 18:30:00 | Does having a good catching prospect like Derek Norris have any impact on the choice to move Harper to OF? (Tim from DC) | Not at all. It's just the bat being so far ahead of the glove. The Pirates take Taillon, and I'm very happy for Pirates fans as they took the right guy. Just massive, crazy upside. Best HS righty we've seen for years. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-12-11 13:00:00 | True or False, Derek Norris will be at the top, or near the very top, of the list for catching prospects by the end of next season? (Greg75 from Washington) | That's true now, no? I think he's one of the top catching prospects in the game. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-11-17 14:00:00 | With all the hype surrounding Strasburg, I'm interested in Derek Norris. You were pretty high on him coming into the year and he certainly performed. What's his upside and a comparison if you've heard one. Thanks! (Paul32 from Washington) | I think he could be an All-Star catcher with average, power and walks. Just outstanding. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-09-17 14:00:00 | Thoughts on Derek Norris? Will he be catching for the Nats at some point next year? (Dennis from Monterey Park) | I think he's fantastic. I also think 2010 is unrealistic. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-05-28 14:00:00 | Kevin, Derek Norris was a guy you thought might have a breakout and he has looked awfully impressive so far, do you think he'll move quickly? (Evan from Washington) | His defense will determine his timetable more than his bat. He's still pretty rough around the edges behind the plate. (Kevin Goldstein) |
