Guillermo Moscoso

Skeptics who said last season that Moscoso's flyball tendencies would not translate well to Coors Field were rightfully vindicated, as Moscoso's painfully low 34.6 groundball percentage yielded a 1.4 HR/9, the highest of his career at any level. Those issues were most amplified in a July outing against the Nationals that saw Moscoso surrender eight runs on eight hits (three homers) in 1.2 innings of mop-up duty. Now that he is with Kansas City, Moscoso has a much better chance to thrive at the relatively neutral Kauffman Stadium, and would seem to be in position to contend for a starting or long relief role with the big club. Moscoso should be further aided by a normalization in BABIP (.378 last season) and an increased strikeout rate (8.5 K/9), but park factors must always be considered when deploying him in your lineup.
