Moses was an excellent pinch runner and utility outfielder who was best known for good, hustling defense. A 16th-round draft choice out of the University of Arizona in 1980, Moses made his big-league debut with the Seattle Mariners just two years later. He had 25 stolen bases in 1986 and 23 in 1987, and raised his average to .316 in 1988 after signing with the Twins. (TF)
