Mashing Moya continues to mature
3/13/16: Steven Moya hits a home run to right field in the top of the 4th, allowing Nick Castellanos to score and tie the game at 4That can be taken in several ways.
If the Tigers hadn't signed Justin Upton, this start might be enough to make team officials ponder their plan to return Moya to Triple-A Toledo for more seasoning. As it is, whatever Moya does in this camp, it's probably not going to be enough for him to make the Opening Day roster.
No, Moya said, that's not what he meant.
"It's not enough for me, something personal," Moya said. "I have to go for more. Each at-bat counts. You can't just throw at-bats away. My goal is to take each at-bat like it's the last one I'll get."
