Scott Alan Moore (born November 17, 1983, in Long Beach, California) is a Major League Baseball infielder who is currently in the Chicago Cubs' organization.

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 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. Moore was sent down on July 24 after the suspension of Lee ended.

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, to make room for Ty Wigginton on the 40-man roster. Moore joined the Triple-A Norfolk Tides.

On December 15, Moore signed a minor league contract with the Chicago Cubs.
