Scott Alan Moore (born Noveber 17, 1983, in Long Beach, California) is a Major League Baseball infielder in the Baltimore Orioles organization. He was born on the same day as major league stars Ryan Braun and Nick Markakis.

[edit] Professional career

Moore was selected in the first round of the 2002 Major League Baseball Draft as the eighth overall pick by the Detroit Tigers.

Moore was sent to Chicago as one of four players to be traded in 2005 for pitcher Kyle Farnsworth. He didn't become the full time starter everyone expected in the Cubs organization because of Aramis Ramírez blocked his playing time at third base during the 2006-07 seasons.

Moore made his major league debut on September 4, 2006, against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was called up again on July 20, 2007 to start at first base against the Arizona Diamondbacks after a suspended Derrek Lee and an injured Daryle Ward left the Cubs in need of a first baseman.^{[citation needed]} Moore was sent down on July 24 after the suspension of Lee ended. On August 31, Moore was traded from the Chicago Cubs to the Baltimore Orioles along with pitcher Rocky Cherry for starting pitcher Steve Trachsel.

Moore was designated for assignment on February 10, 2009 to make room for Ty Wigginton on the 40-man roster. Moore joined the Triple-A Norfolk Tides.^[1]
