Norris arrives from minors to share Oakland's catching job with Suzuki
For a team playing as well as it has all year, the A's made an unexpected move Thursday.

Checking In On Tommy Milone, Derek Norris, Brad Peacock, and A.J. Cole
Gio Gonzalez earned his second win of the season last night, tossing six shutout innings while allowing just two hits and striking out six. By every measurable account, the decision to acquire the hard throwing left-hander via trade has been a smashing success thus far.

Goodbye, A.J. Cole, Derek Norris, Brad Peacock and Tommy Milone. Hello, Gio Gonzalez.
Who were those first four guys again? Just four of the Nats’ top 10 prospects — three starting pitchers and a C/1B. All four are predicted by John Sickels, who knows stuff, to “have a good chance to enjoy successful careers.”
(Gulp.)
And who’s Gonzalez? He’s a 26-year-old lefty who...

For Nationals, there's a catch to Norris
SURPRISE, Ariz. — About 30 minutes before the Scottsdale Scorpions sent Nationals prospect Matt Purke to the mound for the left-hander's first professional start, catcher Derek Norris made his way into a mostly empty visitors dugout at Surprise Stadium.
