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. I dont want to predetermine anything at this point, Evans said, later adding, We havent had a discussion directly about the trade. Id rather not jump to any specific conclusions. I think we should at least evaluate what our game plan is.The 27-year-old Moore is 7-7 with a 4.08 ERA in 21 starts and 130 innings.I just got off the phone with Bobby and told Im ready to go tomorrow, said Moore, who had been scheduled to pitch Tuesday. Its my start day. But I think they still have a couple things to figure out. As far as the playoffs, things like that, its a lot of excitement just to think about getting back there. Thats what we play for. Those are the moments we want to be in.
