I hope he gets drafted.  I had seen he was doing okay this summer and thought he might be turning a corner to become more reliable and getting more pitching time next year.  Good luck to him.

I don't know for certain, but I'd venture a guess that he's been told where he's likely to go and which clubs are interested.

Hard to know but you are probably right.

Moffett has looked good in summer league but started on Tuesday and only made it thru one inning. He threw 36 pitches (19 for strikes) and gave up 2 runs on 2 hits and 2 walks.

His inning:

Single, run scores
