Rumor Central: Giants considering moving Matt Moore to bullpen?

San Francisco Giants left-hander Matt Moore has struggled mightily this season and his job security as a starter may be in jeopardy.

According to Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News, the Giants have considered moving Moore and his 5.71 ERA to the bullpen.

The 28-year-old owns a 3-12 record and 1.56 WHIP across 135 2/3 innings (24 starts) for San Francisco, possibly the result of a dip in his velocity this season. Moore has made just two relief appearances in his 131 big league games and they both came back in 2011 when he was a highly-touted prospect in the Tampa Bay Rays organization.
