The idea is that the league is a finishing ground for top prospects who are almost ready for the bigs, and not just another opportunity for players to pick up playing time. I'd guess that this is why Moore has been omitted.<br /><br />Rizzo (unlike JimBo) seems to like for players to spend whole seasons at a given level before promoting them. I'd guess that Moore is most likely to be promoted at the end of the season -- if he's not promoted then, then it might mean something.Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-60092427272974558702010-08-31T10:41:54.310-04:002010-08-31T10:41:54.310-04:00Yeah, wad bout' this Moore guy? 70+ extras isn...Yeah, wad bout' this Moore guy? 70+ extras isn't chopped liver!Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17614998804163989623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-17827514583559934152010-08-31T10:08:04.856-04:002010-08-31T10:08:04.856-04:00@ NatsJack in Florida
