Moore had another solid season at AA West Tennessee batting .319 with 14 HR 71 RBI and 34 doubles. Tall and strong, Moore's righthanded swing generates good loft and power to all fields that should produce 20-25 HR. Coupled with that is sound plate discipline that earned a respectable 40 BB/77 K ratio last season. The Mariners are also quite impressed with his strong leadership skills and game-calling acumen. There are weaknesses to Moore's defensive game, though, as he has limited mobility to block balls and his footwork is below average. Mariners roving catching instructor Roger Hansen has worked extensively with the Adam over the past couple of seasons and will likely continue to do so in '09.
2009 Projection: The Mariners would love to see Moore continue to shine at AAA Tacoma this year. Given the hitter-friendly ballparks in the PCL, it is quite possible that Moore will put up some big numbers this next season. Moore's biggest challenges rest in his defensive development, but his power numbers and batting average numbers also bear watching. Moore's home run output dipped significantly in '08 but his batting average increased. Some scouts feel that Moore is not athletic enough to maintain a high batting average at the MLB level, but he has done everything to dispel that notion thus far. The Mariners would love to eventually unload the mistake that is Kenji Johjima's contract, and Jeff Clement's most useful long term future rests at the DH position. This opens the door wide for Moore, but he will likely have to wait another season.
