Brimming with optimism

Matt Moore closed the 2015 season with four solid starts, only four earned runs in four outings.

It’s hard to remain skeptical of Moore’s health coming off Tommy John surgery in 2014, but shreds of uncertainty remain. Moore just didn’t get enough done last season to allow Joe to sleep easily.

However, Moore is all smiles and roses as Spring Training opens. He says his arm “feels like it did three years ago,” and he’s brimming with confidence.

Hear his whole smiley rant in the MLB.com video below. Might as well embrace it. Everyone is on the cusp of greatness in late February.
