Ed Wade says Chris Johnson & Bud Norris are very close to joining the big club.
On Johnson:
“Johnson is the closest-to-the-big-leagues position player prospect we have,” general manager Ed Wade said. “We like (Edwin) Maysonet and (Tommy) Manzella, (Brian) Bogusevic and a couple of other guys. But really, the guy that has the greatest chance of having an impact on our club is Johnson.”
On Norris:
“Bud did a real nice job,” Wade said. “I told him it wasn’t easy for us (to send him to Round Rock).
“He put his best foot forward here in camp and did exactly what we asked him to do. In other circumstances, he’d be breaking camp with the big club.”
