| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2012-02-02 15:00:00 | I meant Matt Moore, Duh! (Ron from Tampa) | OK now we're in business. The Rays rotations is obviously crowded this year, but I expect Moore to have a spot on opening day one way or another. The organization has managed his innings very carefully during his ascent, so let's assume he gets to 190 or so this year... at his expected level of performance, he should be at the end of the top 20, at minimum. (Cory Schwartz) |
| 2012-01-20 14:00:00 | Do pitchers make significant progress with their control after AA, i.e., shouldn't control as a skill be established long before MPH and developing off-speed/breaking pitches? (karysingh from Key Largo) | Sure they do. Look at Matt Moore. As far as stuff/control, it's chicken-egg. You need stuff TO control, and you need to control your stuff. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2012-01-26 13:00:00 | If you could have the next 6 years of any pitcher in the Majors to start your team with, is there anyone to consider other than Matt Moore? (FutureCloser from NY NY) | Clayton Kershaw would be my first choice (Jason Parks) |
| 2012-01-26 13:00:00 | Can you see anyone in the lower minors blow up and become a Matt Moore in a couple of years? (Mike from Utica, NY) | I think Bundy has a chance to be very, very good, but he's not going to catch anybody by surprise. Honest answer: No, I really can't (Jason Parks) |
| 2012-01-26 13:00:00 | Most exciting fastball in baseball? How about most exciting pitch? Aroldis Chapman's fastball from the pen? (Johnny from SD) | Watching Chapman throw a pen is a lot of fun, but watching guys like Matt Moore in the Future's Game was just as fun. When his power curve morphed into that cut/slider offering, thrown with extreme tilt in the upper 80s, I almost shit my pants with excitement. (Jason Parks) |
| 2012-01-26 13:00:00 | Projecting 2012 performance only, is Matt Moore a top ten MLB starter? (George from OH) | Not yet. But getting closer to that in '12 and achieving that distinction in '13 (Jason Parks) |
| 2012-01-24 13:00:00 | Hope you can help me! In an AL-only dynasty league, which of these prospects would you NOT trade for JJ Hardy to fill a dire need at SS - Leonys Martin, Travis D'Arnaud, Dellin Betances, Matt Moore, Neil Ramirez, Anthony Gose (jtanker33 from Dayton) | If you're all in for this season, then Moore is the only one I'd say is untouchable. That said, you shouldn't need to deal some of these other guys for Hardy either. D'Arnaud and Betances should be taken off the table if at all possible. I'd try to deal Ramirez first. (Derek Carty) |
| 2012-01-10 13:00:00 | Rapid Fire: Ten fantasy rookies who will make impacts in 2012 (5 pitchers, 5 batters): _______? Go! (Francois from Toronto) | Okay, rapid fire…
P: Yu Darvish, Matt Moore, Addison Reed, Julio Teheran, Brad Peacock H: Jesus Montero, Yoennis Cespedes, Mike Trout, Devin Mesoraco, Tyler Pastornicky There are certainly others that will have impacts too. I actually have an article about fantasy-worthy rookies in the Fantasy Baseball Index magazine that will hit newsstands this preseason, if you’re interested in my take on other guys. (Derek Carty) |
| 2012-01-12 13:00:00 | What are your thoughts on Matt Moore in 2012.... and beyond? (johnsamo from Texas) | He's really good. He throws 95 and has pretty good ability to put the fastball where he wants. His slider is great pitch for whiffs, and though he didn't have to use his changeup much, it looks pretty strong, too.
There's nothing significant not to like about him as far as I'm concerned, though of course he'll have to mature and make adjustments just like every player does if he wants to continue to be a star. (Mike Fast) |
| 2011-12-14 13:00:00 | Does Matt Moore have a Felix Hernandez type career, David Price type career, or other? (Anello from Chicago) | Other. He has a Matt Moore type of career. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-12-14 13:00:00 | More likely to occur: Matt Moore fans 250 over a season (any point in his MLB career), or Bryce Harper hitting 50 HR over a season in the same time frame. Both going to happen? (Mike from Dover) | Both could happen. That's scary, isn't it? (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-10-04 13:00:00 | Matt Moore .... best pitching prospect to hit the majors since __________. (Prior? Wood? Verlander? other?) (dianagram from NYC) | Kershaw (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-10-04 13:00:00 | Professor,
On my first sighting of Matt Moore on TV for Game 1, I thought he had the most relaxed throwing style for a 97mph fastball I've ever seen. Is it as effortless as it looks? (Neil Carter from London) | Sure. It's very easy, and with his extension, the 97 looks even faster than that to the hitters. Neftali Feliz might have the easiest FB velocity I've ever seen, but Moore is in the discussion. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-10-04 13:00:00 | So you're saying Matt Moore and Clayton Kershaw were both better prospects than Stephen Strasburg? (Charlie from Bethesda) | No, I'm not saying that. Strasburg is in his own class. Just using a lefty as the comp. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-09-20 13:00:00 | What are the reasons against starting Matt Moore over Jeff Nieman down the stretch? (JDanger from chicago) | Because Niemann hasn't pitched badly - Wade Davis and Jeremy Hellickson have higher FIPs, by the way - and because Moore is nearing his innings cap. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2011-09-14 13:00:00 | Hiya Ben, long time no chat. Do you think the Orioles can annoy the Red Sox enough for the Rays to sneak into the playoffs? (Fruitbat from New York) | It would be pretty to think so, but I don't see it happening, even given the diminished state of the Red Sox rotation and the awe-inspiring power of Matt Moore. Have the Orioles ever annoyed the Red Sox before? It's certainly not out of the realm of possibility that they could make things interesting, and the shrinking of the margins has made the last couple weeks a lot easier to watch, but in the end I expect that those rooting for an upset will be disappointed. (Ben Lindbergh) |
| 2011-08-16 17:00:00 | How do you feel about trading prospects in dynasty leagues? Do you have a problem trading a premium prospect or two for a rental if that rental will increase your chances to win a championship this year? (DS from LA) | Flags Fly Forever. I have traded Desmond Jennings and Matt Moore to win pennants in 2009 and 2010 and I don't regret doing it. (Jason Collette) |
| 2011-08-16 17:00:00 | Thank you, Jason, for answering my earlier questions. In a dynasty league, do you have a preference for drafting hitting or pitching prospects? (DS from LA) | I don't even bother with pitching prospects until I see what they do in High A ball. If that means I miss out on a Matt Moore the first time around, so be it. TINSTAAPP should be tattooed into every fantasy player's forearm (Jason Collette) |
| 2011-08-16 17:00:00 | You think there's any chance Matt Moore makes a start in September? (Bryan from The OC) | A 2% chance, at best. They only did it with Price in 2008 because of the post-season contention. Nothing to be gained by throwing him this year other than (what I'd hope would be) a strong night at the gate. (Jason Collette) |
| 2011-08-11 13:00:00 | Derek, gotta admit I was worried when Marc left, but you've continued to make fantasy coverage a bright spot for the site. Wondering about which call-ups over the next few weeks you think will have the biggest fantasy impact. Specifically, players like Montero who haven't been called up yet and may still be available. Thanks. (DanDaMan from The Vineyard) | Thanks, Dan. I really appreciate the kind words.
We've seen most of the big names called up over the past couple weeks with guys like Goldschmidt, Lawrie, Trayon Robinson, and others getting the call. A few others still left in the minors that could prove valuable are Montero, Leonys Martin, Brett Jackson (if he continues hitting), Brad Peacock, Devin Mesoraco (if someone gets injured in Cincy), and maybe Matt Moore, especially with Alex Cobb done for the year. (Derek Carty) |
| 2011-07-29 13:00:00 | We've seen Matt Moore go from a 4+ BB/9 rate to the 2.5 range this year. Some guys "get it" (throw strikes) and others never see or experience very little improvement in command. What have you been able to identify that might separate the difference? And as a follow-up, if Z Wheeler "get's it", could we be talking about him in 2012 like Moore in 2011? Thanks! (ShawnG from Cleveland) | Moore just gets better and better, and don't forget, not only is he throwing more strikes, he's also throwing harder, and that's part of what makes him so special. If Wheeler gets it, he's not Moore, as Moore is the best pitching prospect in the game. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-07-29 13:00:00 | Matt Moore is to Shelby Miller as Albert Pujols is to _______. (Matt from Saranac Lake, NY) | Someone really good but nowhere as good as Albert Pujols. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-07-21 16:00:00 | Best case scenario for Matt Moore in 2012? (Kevin from Portland) | Is called up mid-June when a starter goes down with an injury to explain ineffectiveness much like what Price did in 09. If Super Two goes away with the new CBA, then Moore could see time before June. (Jason Collette) |
| 2011-07-21 16:00:00 | If the Rays deal Shields is there a chance Matt Moore opens 2012 in the bigs? (Kevin from Portland) | Not unless Super Two is washed away. Price, Davis, Niemann, and Hellickson all started their seasons in AAA and Moore will as well. It is the Rays' way of doing things. (Jason Collette) |
| 2011-07-21 16:00:00 | When it comes to fantasy baseball, are you more of a trader or someone who likes to stand pat more often than not? And are you able to quickly forget about bad trades you make and move on, or do you tend to brood over them? (Dennis from LA) | I would trade away my children if it meant winning a title. I don't do anything in the first six weeks unless someone offers me a very dumb trade on their part, but I will turn over an entire roster if the situation presents itself. I'd even trade Matt Moore for a pennant. (Jason Collette) |
| 2011-06-17 13:00:00 | Is Matt Moore a future #1 starter? I think he responded well to being discussed on the podcast, much like Jose Altuve and Tom Verducci's hair. (mef from Brooklyn) | Yes. Moore has top-of-the-rotation talent. The command will need to get there, and the changeup will need to get there, but yes, I think they will get there. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-06-17 13:00:00 | Do you believe pitchers should be quicker to the majors than hitters given injury risk and there might only be so many bullets in the gun, so to speak? Thinking specifically about Matt Moore: Sure, leaving him down to sharpen his command would be nice but what if his stuff flattens in the process? Legit concern? (Kevin from NJ) | Has to be player specific. Some arms require more refinement, and some need to be pushed. Some arms just don't look sustainable (health wise), while others are free and easy. It all depends on the player. Development has to be scripted for the individual (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-05-18 13:00:00 | Aside from Harper, Trout, Montero & Brown, and with Hosmer, Hellockson, Chaoman & Teheran now in the majors, who occupies the remaining spots in the Top 10 at this point. (commish from nyc) | While I should defer to Kevin Goldstein on this question, I'd have to say Mike Moustakas is right there with those guys. That's five. Then let's say John Lamb, Jameson Taillon, Matt Moore and Shelby Miller. (John Perrotto) |
| 2011-04-13 13:00:00 | Matt Moore or any of the Royals lefties? (Imperialism32 from NJ) | Matt Moore. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-02-08 14:00:00 | Ken, who would you say has the better chance to succeed in Roto ball Michael Pineda or Matt Moore? What about Brett Lawrie versus Manny Machado?
Thanks - (Touch em all Joe from Toronto) | Pineda vs. Moore is a tough one, and you can't go wrong either way (though in Strat I'd take Pineda, avoiding Moore's incipient leftiness). Gun to my head I pick Pineda, since pitching in Seattle should really help his raw numbers. Machado is more valuable than Lawrie if he can stick at shortstop. If he moves to third base -- well, I STILL think he's likely more valuable than Lawrie in the long run. (Ken Funck) |
| 2010-10-14 13:00:00 | Would you trade Ubaldo for Dom Brown and Matt Moore in a deep keeper? That would mean Johan, Roy Oswalt, Roy Halladay, CC, Gallardo, and Wainwright would be my staff? Otherwise, it's cutting Johan or Torii, as referenced above. Thanks. (Will from Mactaquac) | Do you have contracts/limits on how long you can keep players? Brown is supposed to be great, but he's at a pretty deep position. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-06-28 14:00:00 | Think Ryan Doumit has any trade value? Does a Doumit for Matt Moore swap interest the Rays at all? (Joe from Altoona) | I like Doumit, and while he has yet to recover his 2007-2008 form, yes, he's got some value even as a .257/.336/.405 hitter. That said, you're barking up the wrong tree as far as hoping for a deal with the Rays, as they've been carrying Navarro, Shoppach and Jaso for a good portion of the year, and are pretty set behind the plate.
