Jose Tabata demoted to Triple-A

The Pittsburgh Pirates have recalled outfielder Gorky's Hernandez and optioned outfielder Jose Tabata to triple-A. Tabata who is said to be 23 years old, is hitting .230 with 3 home runs and 11 RBIs this season.

Tabata last August signed a 6 year extension worth $14.75 million with three club options and many at the time felt he was crazy to sign the deal and left a lot of money on the table he could get at a later time. I doubt baseball insiders still have that same viewpoint.

2012: $750,000

2013: $ 1 million
