This interview was a little bit different, I didn't really asked Moore if he wanted to be interview. I just sat there next to Moore during in the dugout after he hit his monster shot in our game against the Tigers, and because he's a cool dude he let me posted it.

Reynolds: So, take me to your whole experience.

How it was when you started in the league and joined the devil rays?

Moore: Well, I was doing pretty well as a 3rd baseman coming into the league, so I'd thought that I'd get a lot of offers from teams.

Turns out I only got like five and I was shocked. But I talked it over, and I thought that I would be able to grow and improve the most with the people in the Rays dugout.

Pretty soon, I'm going to be a star player.

Just you wait.

R: Do you mean a player to watch?

Moore chuckled a little.

R: Where you ever like scared or amused by joining a top team in the league? Actually we were the undisputed #1 team at that point.

M: It's true that this was a top team in the league. But I want to be a top player, and what better way to do that than learn from some of the best.

R: I mean we still are a top team

M: true, just not THE definitive one right now.

R: Facts

I want to know what your thought process was when Dougie retired.

Because our team morale went down and you were new, it must have been kind of weird for you.

What was going thru your mind?

M: So, the person on the field who touches the ball the most is the pitcher and with Dougie, I know that that presence was there both on and off the field.

He, from what I gathered of him when I first started, was somebody who had a strong presence, if you get what I'm saying. Dougie was an amazing pitcher, you can tell from the stats and I only get to bat like 3 times a game so having a good pitcher leave can really hurt.

I just tried/try to put my best out there and help with morale any way I can.

R: You certainly do a good job.

M: Thanks.

R: So, besides you. Who's your favorite 3B on the team and why it is Robin Reynolds? (Laughs)

M: Because when he recommends trying something out, I know to do the exact opposite (/s)

R: Damn... But I mean yea. Everyone on the team is instructed to never listen to me while we scout. (Laughs)

M: Nah but there are people that have a presence off the field, boost comradery and morale and you can't find that stuff on any spreadsheet.

R: Unless you're Meerkat.

M: No chill in this dugout huh?

R: Nah I like Meerkat I'm just kidding, but I'm putting that.

M: So yeah. I'm not too crazy active about that kind of stuff, and I know that I need to get better at it, but I have just had a lot of personal stuff that has been getting in the way of a lot of it so now that almost all of it is finished, I'm able to show my strengths.

R: Yea I feel you, so man Tell me about that BOMB you hit earlier.

M: So I was talking with Red (Trapper) a little bit beforehand on this one, I was thinking that the pitcher would throw a low pitch but I honestly was kind of doubting myself.

Red was full on saying that I really should trust in my gut, and the data also proves my gut right so I did and I'm glad that I did.

And also, I got a triple last game that didn't amount to anything other than me not having 0 hits on the day, so it was amazing finally getting on the scoreboard.

R: I asked that because Kevin Arianna went on air on MLR Tonight and said the words among "Some random hit a homer for Tampa or something"

I don't really know because I don't really watch MLR tonight.

Do you have something you want to say to the MLR tonight panel?

M: I don't watch it either to be honest. But, I may be some random right now, because I'm not really active right now. But I'm taking small steps, I'm trying to be active in the dugout and then once I do that, it will be much easier to show that I'm not some random person.

And I get their perspective, but it's going to do a 180 real fast

R: Damn no banter.

M: I'm not the kind of guy who trash talks, I just let my actions to the talking for me.

R: I feel you... One last question:

I know we rotate and stuff, but playoffs are among us, do you think about your role on this team during playoffs? Do you have any expectations about it?

M: Honestly, playoffs hasn't been on my mind just yet, I'm taking it one step at a time. And everyone in the dugout trusts each other's ideas, so even if I'm not playing I can still have a strong impact on the game.

By just being there and cheering on all the other guys/giving them tips. And I'm a pretty strong believer that your actions make you who you are, so I'm just going to let my actions determine my role.

R: Awesome man, Thanks for your time.

M: No problem.

Moore is going to be a prime time player, he just has that drive to win that every team could use, from experience I can tell you he's a great guy to have around, and now, he's a player to watch.
