Garza was born in 1983, Moyer was drafted out of St. Joseph's University in 1984. Garza's fastball sits around 93/94, Moyer's fastball tops out at 82/83. Garza allows 0.93 HR/9, walks 2.88/9 and strikes 6.24/9. Moyer allows 0.92 HR/9, walks 2.84/9, and strikes 5.64/9. These two are almost nothing alike, yet entirely similar. Don't sleep on Moyer because of his age or velocity, he's not as bad as you're thinking, assuming that Moyer doesn't go to bed around 8/8:30 it should be a decent match-up with the Rays having about a half-run edge.

Love the matchup
dont mess this up, rain
Matt Garza is in the middle of having his 3rd testicle descend. He will be ready in time to win tonight though.
Probably.
I just don’t have the data available to do so.

Gammons new blog is up...has this little interesting nugget...
Price obviously is going into the Tampa Bay rotation next season, but look for the Rays to take a big, hard-throwing lefty like Jake McGee — who is coming off Tommy John surgery — to try that role. Maddon says McGee throws harder than Price, and he sees McGee being used in important roles out of the pen once he learns how to pitch, sit and pitch again.
Lack of a secondary pitch is going to limit McGee to relief work.

You say this like you've actually watched McGee to see if he has any good secondary pitches
McGee has a great curve, he just doesn’t have great command of it, and he’s hesitant to use it.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
So...lack of a secondary pitch is going to limit McGee to relief work?

He's got plenty of time. I've seen him pitch. His curve has good sharp break. His change also has sink and fade.
He’s not being limited to relief work because of his secondary pitches. He’s being limited to relief work because his 100mph fastball could help the big league team as soon as mid-2010. Team depth is why he’s most likely being moved.

Sign Bonds!
Does McGee have a decent change?
Maybe get him to work with Shields, coming out out the of the pen as a lefty with a 97-98mph fastball and a decent change and McGee could really be an asset.
Learn to reply and yes.

you're right
I’ve totally derailed this thread by not replying correctly. Geez, what was I thinking asking a question and not making it a reply of a comment above. With the CRAZY amount of replies in this post, I have clearly destroyed all conversation.
