Trail Droppings 2038-9 Moore Says He's 100%

Moore Says He’s 100%

Calgary “infielder” Harlan W. Moore announced today that he was completely recovered from the injuries he suffered this season. Moore ruptured his Achilles tendon during the 5th game of the regular season, causing him to miss 3 months of play. In July, he tore a groin muscle while rehabbing in St. Paul, it was his 5th game there as well. He finished the season with one at bat in Calgary on September 26.

“It was just one of those things. I had a freak injury in April and then I think I was trying too hard to get back when I had that other one,” Moore said. “I mean if I had been able to get back with the team in July, we’d have made the playoffs for sure.”

Moore ended up playing in 6 games for Calgary this season and hit .150. He was paid $4.8 million which breaks down to $1.6 million per hit. The team signed Moore to a 3 year contract to give some depth to the shortstop position. After Moore’s injuries, Tony Gustafsen resumed his place as starting shortstop and hit .280, with 25 steals in 152 games. Gustafsen has never missed more than 2 weeks with any injury during his big league career,

Moore, when healthy, is a top infielder. A career .307 hitter, he hit .324, ,323 and .352 his first 3 seasons in the BBA with Valencia. His injuries started when he tore a calf muscle and missed half of the 2031 season. In 2032 a torn Achilles, the other one, limited him to 25 games. In 2033 he showed once again what he could do when he was healthy, playing in 161 games with 705 plate appearances. He hit .297, stole 84 bases and was named the Comeback Player of the Year.

Unfortunately he went back on the DL the next year, when he broke his leg during the 5th game of the 2034 season. He missed half of 2035 with a torn labrum and his name appeared on the injury report no less than 12 times during the 2036 campaign. The most serious injuries were a calf strain and a fractured finger that each cost him a month. He was dealt midway through that season to Omaha for 3 prospects.

Last season he was named on the injury report another 12 times and was traded 3 times during the season, eventually ending up in Brooklyn. He was traded to them by Mexico City the same day that Mexico City acquired him from Long Beach. Despite all the moves and injuries, he managed to play in 102 games, hit .281 and stole 31 bases. He left Brooklyn for free agency at the end of the year.

Calgary signed him on December 17th, to a 3 year contract worth $14.1 million. Assistant GM Harry Green told the media that the team was assured that Moore was healthy and ready to play by the physicians that examined him. The team still owed Moore $9.3 million of his contract. It is unclear if Moore will be on Calgary’s roster for 2039, if he will be dealt or outright released. One option is moving him to 3B as part of a platoon, a position less taxing on his body.

We promise to wrap him in bubble wrap when we send him to his next team. No extra charge.
