He talked a LOT about Torii Hunter taking 6 years to make it to the bigs when I saw Moore speak on the issue of Bubba Starling.
The common themes are that the D and speed and baserunning abilities are all there. Just needs to put the hit tool together. There also didn't seem to be any worry Starling would go play college football if he hadn't made the majors by age 24, as some have hysterically suggested (Kevin Kietzman, cough, cough)
