Career
Bigbie was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 1st round
(21st pick overall) of the 1999 Major League Baseball
amateur draft and played over four years (2001-2005) for the
Orioles before being traded during the 2005 season to the Colorado
Rockies.
Bigbie played the remainder of 2005 season for the Rockies. On
December 8, 2005, the Rockies traded him and Aaron Miles to the St. Louis
Cardinals for pitcher Ray
King. On February 2, 2007, he signed a minor league deal with
the Los
Angeles Dodgers. Bigbie exercised a free agent option in his
contract on June 1, 2007, and on June 11 signed a minor league
contract with the Braves.
During his five-year career, he has posted a .268 batting
average, hitting 31 home
runs and amassing 322 hits in 375 games. Bigbie is an average
fielder, but has an above-average arm. He batted .240 in 2006 with the
Cardinals, also posting only 1 RBI, in 17 games.
In December 2007, it was announced that he had agreed to a deal
to play for the Yokohama Bay
Stars in the Japanese Central League. The deal was signed in
January, even after Bigbie's name appeared in the Mitchell Report.[1]
Mitchell
Report
He was named in the Mitchell Report on Steroid Abuse in Baseball
on December 13, 2007. According to the report, Bigbie admitted to
purchasing and using a variety of performance-enhancing substances
from Kirk
Radomski from 2001 to 2005, including human growth
hormone, Deca-Durabolin, Sustanon, testosterone, and anti-estrogen
drugs.[2] Bigbie
was introduced to Radomski through former teammate David Segui. Segui
reportedly instructed him on "training regimens and the use of creatine, a legal muscle
builder, before teaching him about steroids and eventually
injecting him with Deca-Durabolin". After he started using
steroids, Bigbie gained 30 pounds while maintaining a body fat
percentage of 7%.[3]
