Once-hot Tigers prospect Moya running out of time

Toledo — If things had worked out the way he wanted, Steven Moya would be the Tigers’ heir apparent in right field.

Things didn’t quite work out as planned.

It’s like a power hitter waiting on a fastball — and getting a biting curveball. Moya’s been getting a lot of that lately.

And that’s part of the problem for the 6-foot-7 outfielder, who was once one of the top prospects in the Tigers’ minor-league system: He’s just not seeing the ball well — and he’s not well regarded for his defense, leaving the Tigers with limited choices.
