Larry Bigbie

3/24/2006

Bigbie, who is competing with So Taguchi and John Rodriguez for the left field job in St. Louis, said Friday he will be sidelined for at least two weeks with a stress fracture in his left foot. Bigbie, acquired from Colorado in a December trade, is batting .231 with two doubles and two RBIs in 26 at-bats this spring. An MRI exam earlier this week confirmed the break.

Bigbie and the Cardinals agreed to a $900,000, one-year contract on Tuesday. St. Louis acquire the outfielder, along with 2B Aaron Miles, from the Rockies on Dec. 8 for reliever Ray King. Bigbie spent 2005 with Colorado and Baltimore, hitting .239 with five homers and 23 RBIs.

12/8/2005

Bigbie was traded on Wednesday night, along with Aaron Miles, to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for Ray King. In 2005, Bigbie finished with a .239 average, five home runs and 23 RBIs playing for both Baltimore and Colorado.

The Achilles ailment that landed Bigbie on the disabled list in late August continues to bother the Colorado outfielder. He probably will be limited to pinch-hitting duties for the remainder of the 2005 campaign. In 87 games for Baltimore and Colorado, Bigbie has batted .242 with a .304 on-base percentage.

9/7/2005

The Colorado Rockies activated Bigbie from the disabled list Tuesday, exactly 15 days after he was sidelined with a strained right Achillies. Bigbie is 14-for-59 (.237) with a double, triple and two RBI since joining the Rockies in a late-July trade with Baltimore.

8/23/2005

The strained right Achilles that has hampered Bigbie recently landed the Rockies' outfielder on the 15-day disabled list on Monday. Choo Freeman was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs to fill the roster spot.

8/22/2005

Bigbie was limited to just one at-bat on Saturday and didn't play at all on Sunday, due to soreness in his right Achilles. The Rockies' outfielder, who was acquired from the Baltimore Orioles late last month, has been listed as day-to-day. In 15 games with Colorado, he is batting .237 with no home runs and just two RBI, fanning 13 times in 59 at-bats.

7/29/2005

On Friday, the Baltimore Orioles dealt Bigbie to the Colorado Rockies for Eric Byrnes. Bigbie, who hasn't been as productive as he was a year ago, is batting .249 with five home runs and 21 RBI in 66 games for the Orioles.

6/13/2005

Before Baltimore's 8-5 win over Houston Monday, the Orioles activated Bigbie from the disabled list and put him in the starting lineup. The left fielder stroked his first homer of the year in the O's six-run second inning, and he went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI.

6/8/2005

Bigbie will begin a rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Ottawa on Wednesday. The Orioles' left fielder probably will remain with the minor league team until at least Sunday. Bigbie, who was placed on the disabled list on May 28 with a strained left hamstring, said he is pain free and ready to go.

5/29/2005

Continued aggravation of his strained left hamstring has landed Bigbie on the disabled list. The Orioles' outfielder made his last appearance on May 19, and is currently batting .241 with no home runs and nine RBI in 112 at-bats. Rookie Napoleon Calzado was called up from Triple-A Ottawa to take his place on the active roster.

5/13/2005

Bigbie felt a twinge in one of his hamstrings while leaving the batter's box in the third inning of Baltimore's loss to the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. He came out of the game and probably won't play on Friday, as the leg stiffened up on him. Bigbie has been off to a slow start this season, batting .247 with a .284 on-base percentage. He hasn't hit a homer, and he has scored just six runs and driven in eight in 27 games.

Bigbie's absence means the Orioles' entire starting outfield on Opening Day is out with injuries. Reports suggest Bigbie's down time will be brief, but it may provide some playing time for rookie Jeff Fiorentino, who was just recalled from high Class-A Frederick. He and David Newhan are the Orioles' options for center field.

5/11/2005

In Baltimore's first game after losing center fielder Luis Matos to a broken finger, Bigbie was in center field for the Orioles. That opened left field to B.J. Surhoff, and Jay Gibbons got the start in right.
