Christian Moore's tough Spring

[fryeguy93]

I saw this video over the weekend of C-Mo getting tossed from game after after striking out and spiking bat and helmet




I know the Halos were hoping for him to be the starter but he was sent from the big league camp after starting .175 (7-40) with 11 SOs.

It's not got much better in Salt lake as he sits at .200 (7-35) with no HRs at 13 SOs

I hate to say this, but Moore seems to always play better with a chip on his shoulder as he was clearly not focused coming into the season. He does have a lot of BBs (20) whis is why his POBP is a respectable .482. He has no HRs in SLC but does have 4 doubles.

I think its clear the Angels did the "Angels Thing" and brought him up too early last season. With his injury, he had VERY few appearances above A ball.

Had high hopes that CRW would plug the major hole (defense) in his game. Lots of swing and miss in that platoon DH season with Burke. I think he's a guy that may just take a while to make adjustments. Like you said, he's not played the equivalent of full season yet.

Without MUCH better plate discipline and figuring out a way to play a position in the field, Moore will continue to struggle. I'm not sure if he lost his confidence or his deficiencies finally caught up with him just yet. Hopefully Brady Anderson and Mabry can teach him some better patience soon.
