Chris Pratt To Play Scott Hatteberg In "Moneyball"

More "Moneyball" casting information from Risky Business. According to the online news outlet, Chris Pratt of "Everwood" and "Parks and Recreations" fame has been cast to play Scott Hatteberg in "Moneyball".

I have to say I really dig Pratt as an actor, he's one of those much needed quirky character actors that is good to have around. He definitely looks the part, kind of an eerie similarity to Scott Hatteberg.

Hatteberg was actually a catcher for my hometown team Boston Red Sox but his ability to catch was canceled out with a severe injury to his elbow. The Red Sox gave up on him and he signed with Billy Beane's Oakland A's where he resurrected his career as a 1st Basemen.

I believe the original plan was that Hatteberg was going to play himself in the movie.
