The Daytona Cubs Chapter Begins . . . .

Scott Moore, 3B, Daytona (Class A) Cubs # 4


A first-round pick of the Tigers in 2002, Moore began showing the power potential last year when he cracked 14 homers for Lakeland in the Florida State League. He only hit .223, though, and there were some questions about his ability to hit consistently when Detroit included him in the Kyle Farnsworth deal this winter.

Consider the questions answered. Moore was hitting .297 with 15 homers and 52 RBIs through 69 games and has impressed people, reminding many who had forgotten why he was a first-round pick in the first place.

"He might have the most upside of any player in the Florida State League," one Major League scout said. "He's a talent, and he has room on his body to get stronger. He can play defense, he has a plus arm at third, and he has power. His body profiles for the big leagues as a third baseman. It's easy to see that a kid like this could someday become a pretty good big-league player.

"The trade was a nice change of scenery for him. Maybe it jump-started him. I'm not sure, but I think it helped him. He still has things to work on, but he's a pretty good player and better defensively than LaRoche."
