Our guys worked hard to evaluate our options. It was an interesting market. I feel like the addition of both Matt Moore and Will Smith will help us in multiple ways and strengthen us as well. Its important this time of year with the work that our club has done to be in the situation and position theyre in.With Moore, they now have a reliable addition to join Madison Bumgarner, Johnny Cueto and Jeff Samardzija, given the struggles of Matt Cain and Jake Peavy. Evans said he hasnt yet discussed with manager Bruce Bochy where Moore will slot in the rotation.We have two guys that we value highly in Matt Cain and Jake Peavy.
