Scott Alanboyd Moore (born November 17, 1983) is an American professional baseball infielder who is currently a free agent. He played with the St. Louis Cardinals organization until his release in May 2015. He has played in Major League Baseball for the Chicago Cubs, Baltimore Orioles and Houston Astros.
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 the Chicago Cubs as one of four players traded for pitcher Kyle Farnsworth in 2005. 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.
On August 31, 2007, Moore was traded from the 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.
