Stowers is looking forward to working with Moore this summer.

"His coach freed Jason up for us," Moore said. "Jason has already taken care of what he needed to do for next his next season, and I was able to make an arrangement where we were able to get him."

"I've known Jason for several years," Moore said. "I'm looking forward to having his experience on the field with the guys from Wasco."
