Reports have Moskos hitting 87-91 on rader gun consistently.
I know the Bucs over drafted him at pick number 4 but he was still rated as first round talent.
Is he trying to hard now or was he just not first round talent in first place?
On the other hand, struggling as a starter while working on pitches, command issues could help his develop in the long run.
I think it's more the latter. It shouldn't come as a surprise that he had better stuff as a reliever than as a starter, since that's the way it works for most pitchers. He probably had first-round talent anyway since he was a college lefty with a good slider, but I had him pegged before the draft as the one guy who was way too high in BA's rankings. That's at least half of the reason why I predicted pre-draft that the Pirates would take him, actually...
I'm convinced that Littlefield took Moskos because he thought that Moskos could be moved quickly enough as a reliever to potentially give Littlefield some job security if he managed to hold the job into 2008. That'd explain why they used him exclusively out of the pen after he signed. The actual needs of the franchise didn't factor into it.
Those are great beers, and they're just run-of-the-mill for the Belgians. God, how I love that country.
I thought this quote was interesting and an honest admission of the sort you rarely see by GMs in interviews. Unfortunately for the Pirates, Littlefield used to take those guys starting in the second round.
I can tell you that, of the top nine or 10 players on our board, almost every one of our supervisors has seen every one of those players. That gives us nine or 10 reports on each kid. We could have three looks on a 10th-rounder.
Overall, our number of scouts now is in the upper half of the industry. We're a little heavier on the top than we'd like to be, but we have some very young area scouts, and we feel we can get a lot of energy, a lot of production from them.
Plus, we've changed the valuation process for each player to a system that allows for us to have a detailed, comprehensive look where we're all on the same page.
I wonder whether the "top heavy" part indicates that they've added more supervision than usual to make up for the fact that most of their area scouts are the same guys who scouted under the previous regime.
Sounds like they've got a few more supervisors than usual because they've got a bunch of young, inexperienced scouts.
