[edit] Professional career

Previously, Moeller played with the Minnesota Twins (2000), the Arizona Diamondbacks (2001-03), and the Milwaukee Brewers (2003-2005).

In four seasons with Minnesota and Arizona, Moeller batted .254 with 11 home runs, 56 RBI, 31 doubles, 4 triples, and two stolen bases in 188 games.

Moeller is used exclusively for defense and calling games (especially for Brewers pitcher Ben Sheets), as he is one of the worst hitting catchers that starts regularly in the MLB.

Fact

On April 27, 2004, Moeller became the fifth Brewer to hit for the cycle, the first to do it at home, and the first since Paul Molitor did it on May 15, 1991 at Minnesota.

In January of 2006, Moeller was named to the USA's provisional roster for the 2006 World Baseball Classic.

Moeller is the cousin of former MLB first baseman Chris Cron.

[edit] College career

Moeller attended the University of Southern California.

[edit] 2006 season

Just prior to the All-Star break, Moeller was designated for assignment by the Brewers, primarily due to his low .184 batting average[1]. After clearing waivers he joined the AAA Nashville Sounds. He was replaced with Mike Rivera by the Brewers.
