Could Moeller be on the Move?

April 26th, 2008 | Author: Chad Gramling

As expected, Chad Moeller was sent back to Triple-A after filling in for Posada and Molina while they were injured. But that’s not to indicate he didn’t show the team – and other teams – something during his brief stay.

In fact, was impressive. Over his six games this season, he’s hitting well over his career .226 average at .350. He’s produced 5 runs on 7 hits and 3 walks while driving in 3 runs. He even hit a home run and had a .425 OBP during his stint.

True, one week does not a season make, but Moeller flashed some signs that he can get the job done given the right situation. They Yankees may have even kept him up for a longer stint if their bullpen wasn’t in dire need of help. With the pressing need for extra relievers, there was no longer a spot for Moeller.

However, Moeller is out of minor league options so another team can claim him off waivers. I don’t know that there are many teams out there that would provide a more ideal situation than where he currently is, but I gotta think there are some who are at least considering it.

All that said, Moeller has said he would accept an assignment back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (Pa.) if he clears waivers. “They’ve treated me way to well here to go somewhere else,” Moeller said [source: NJ.com].
