Ty Wigginton has played with Julio Lugo in Tampa and describes him as a high-energy player who can swing the bat.
"He's a fun, energetic guy,'' Wigginton said. "Everybody came to appreciate him. He's definitely an exciting ballplayer. It's going to be fun to have him around."
Lugo brings the kind of versatility that manager Dave Trembley loves.
"I probably saw him play every position on the field except catcher,'' Wigginton said.
Moeller update: The Orioles have granted reserve catcher Chad Moeller his unconditional release. He could have accepted assignment to Triple-A Norfolk, but figures to sign a minor league deal with another club.
