I like this pick


From BA out of HS

Moore is reminiscent of Louisiana high school product Wade LeBlanc, who went on to star at Alabama and became a Padres second-round pick in 2006. They have similar builds, below-average fastballs and good curveballs. Moore throws harder than LeBlanc, 86-88 with a peak of 90 mph, and could pick up a little velocity as he fills out his 6-foot-2, 190-pound frame. He isn't as polished as LeBlanc, who has a significantly better changeup and command. There's some effort to Moore's delivery and he lands on a stiff front leg, which causes him to leave pitches up in the strike zone. Though he needs some work, there are clubs interested in Moore--but not if his reported second-round price tag is correct. If he doesn't turn pro, he'll head to Mississippi State, where his father Dana was a punter and placekicker. In college, Moore also could see action as a lefthanded-hitting first baseman, but he'll be a strictly a pitcher in pro ball.

jesus

but that was back in 07...for some reason he was cut after the 2009 season, as far as I can tell he didn't even pitch last year

Also, former Diamond Dog pitcher Forrest Moore was drafted in the 38th round by the Florida Marlins despite taking 2010 off. He pitched in five games as a 2009 sophomore.

We should just start signing pitchers than the next day just give them TJ or shoulder surgery so they are ready to go the next season
