Reach for your dictionary and turn to the “Ps.” Now flip to the page that lists “Post-Hype Sleeper” and you should find a picture of Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Matt Moore.
Oh, you didn’t find that? Maybe you have a different dictionary than I do. In any case...
After impressing during a September cup of coffee and postseason stint in 2011, the former first-round pick produced 2.7 fWAR the following year.
In 2013, Moore’s ERA dropped from 3.81 to 3.29, but this was thanks in large part to a .259 BABIP, as his FIP barely moved from his first year to his second.
