moyer wound up making 7 starts for the cards, plus one relief appearance. he was 0-5 with a 5.74 era and the cardinals summarily released him after the end of the season. moyer went through the cubs and tigers' organizations in 1992 without getting back to the big leagues before signing with the orioles for the '93 season and pulling things together. hard to believe after his rocky first few years in the bigs that he would pitch for 24 seasons and rack up 267 career victories. and maybe even a couple more - moyer recently announced that he is preparing for a comeback after missing the 2011 season due to injury.
