If this is indeed the cost for Norris -- LHP Edwin Escobar and C Andrew Susac -- then put me down for a yes.
from Beyond the Box Score:
MLB Trade Rumor Analysis: Bud Norris - Beyond the Box Score:
Tim Lincecum and Ryan Vogelsong are free agents to be and San Francisco has to be concerned with Matt Cain's sudden implosion this year. With reigning NL MVP Buster Posey still performing well and Pablo Sandoval assumingly getting healthy over the All-Star break, don't be surprised if the Giants make a run at the up-for-grabs NL West. Their playoff odds are low but an acquisition such as Bud Norris could stabilize their rotation and allow them to try to trade Lincecum for outfield help. Edwin Escobar or Andrew Susac could pose as decent trade bait that Houston could ask for.

Escobar looks smooth, but lets face it, the Giants have a plethora of young LHP's ahead of him.
Whoa, wait a minute, aren't you always saying "You can never have too many LHP's"?
Yes, but here I think we can peel one off and hope for the best. He's in High-A which means we shouldn't hear from him until after Zack Wheeler wins his first Cy Young award, so what the heck?
As for Susac, although he is one of the few prospects not regressing, he does play the position currently held by that Posey kid. Can you say blocked? And yes, currently we do not appear to have a capable back-up but, it's not like Eli Whitehead's don't grow on trees.
Sorry, Eli.
