Detroit Tigers' once-prized prospect Steven Moya demoted to Double-A Erie

TOLEDO - Not much has gone right for Steven Moya this season.

After hitting .166 with seven home runs and 15 RBIs in 46 games this season for Triple-A Toledo, he was sent down to Double-A Erie on Tuesday, the club announced.

The 6-foot-7 outfielder, who once was considered one of the Detroit Tigers' top prospects, cleared waivers at the end of spring training and was outrighted to Toledo.

He hit .284 with 20 home runs and 66 RBIs last season with the Mudhens and played 31 games with the Tigers, hitting five home runs and driving in 11 in 94 at-bats.
