With the Royals needing starting pitching, I would like to see them go after Bud Norris. How do Minute Maid Park's playability compared to Kauffman Stadium?
Don't think there's much difference in the playability of the ballparks. Houston is hurting for pitching depth so I don't think they'd trade him, at least not this offseason. If some of their younger guys (Cosart, Wojciechowski, Oberholtzer, Owens) develop and get to the majors in 2013, maybe they trade him mid-season.
