Matt Moore came to the Giants yesterday in an uncontroversial, widely loved deadline deal for players no one probably remembers, and now Giants fans everywhere are left with one question: So, uh, like, who is he? Let’s investigate!
Moore was drafted by the (then Devil) Rays out of high school in the 8th round in 2007. After a couple years in Rookie ball, he spent a very good 2009 in the Sally League (Class A), a very good 2010 in the Florida State League (High A), and upon getting promoted to AA to start the 2011 season, decided that he was better than the minor leagues and that really it was about time for him to make the majors, so after a fantastic three and a half months in AA, he got promoted to AAA where he was even better, and was in the majors that September.
