Mariner Talk Chat Forum

The "Peter Principle" is expressed as: "In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence."

Is this what happened to Andrew Moore?

Drafted in the 2nd round in 2015, the Oregon State product was brought up in 2017, pitched in 11 games, starting 9. He went 1-5 with a 5.34 and gave up 14 homers in 59 innings. The Mariners really rushed him thru the minors.

He was traded:

May 25, 2018 Tampa Bay Rays traded RHP Alex Colome, LF Denard Span and cash to Seattle Mariners for RHP Andrew Moore and RHP Tommy Romero.

Since then:

April 29, 2019 Tampa Bay Rays designated RHP Andrew Moore for assignment.

and today:

May 11, 2019 San Francisco Giants designated RHP Andrew Moore for assignment.

Would he be worth bringing him back to start in AAA or AA? He was known for outstanding control and command of the strike zone but he is "another" soft tosser. He's 25 now. Is he broken or just needs another fresh start?

Just putting it out there. I say, why not?

2:30pm: Righty Andrew Moore has been designated to make room for Altherr on the 40-man. The outfielder is out of options, so a corresponding demotion will also be in order.

12:44pm: Per Jon Heyman of MLB Network, the Giants have claimed OF Aaron Altherr. Altherr, 28, was designated for assignment by Philadelphia last Saturday.

fwiw, Tommy Romero, 21 y.o. pitched very well for Tampa Bays' "A" ball team, Bowling Green last year ans is pitching solidly for Carlotte, their "A+" team this year.

You forgot Mary Tyler Moore............nothing to do with the M's. I just had a crush on her when a wee lad. Beautiful eyes!!! She was on the Dick Van Dyke Show.

The show ran from 1961-65.

not sure but I think she had a good run on the Mary Tyler Moore show as well.

I remember starting a thread a couple years ago about how I thought he would be a successful major league pitcher because he had been really good at every level in the minors. Ever since his brief time in the majors he has totally fallen apart. His stats this year are beyond horrific.

That seems to happen so often. A player tears it up in the lower levels, then when they get the the majors, or even in some cases AAA, they aren't good and lose all confidence. Or maybe it just happens a lot with Mariners (Ackley, Franklin, Peterson, Zunino, etc...)

Or, maybe they just don't have the goods to make it at the next level. Some players hit their ceiling plain and simple.

It's not just that he didn't have it at the major league level, he went back to the minor league level and instead of picking up where he left off it's like he took ten years off.

I agree with you on Moore. My comment was more generic towards the previous post. In regards to Moore... man, I was right with you thinking he was going to be pillar of the rotation. It's a shame he hasn't panned out.

Thats probably part of it, but then they go back a level and still stink.
