Jose, can you sing?

The Pittsburgh Pirates have attempted to sell some tickets by exploring the potential lineup of young hitters. Following the footsteps of burgeoning star Andrew McCutchen, the Pirates promoted Brooklyn Moab Jose Tabata. The outfielder has been an instant sparkplug in the lineup with six runs scored in ten games. Although his average is bordering the infamous Mendoza Line, Tabata has been getting on-base setting the table for McCutchen.

The Moabs have very few plans for Tabata this season joining McCutchen and Victorino in the outfield, but are delighted to see him getting an opportunity. "We expect him to step in and get some doubles and use his speed to turn singles into doubles by stealing second base. And it's because of that speed that we are so intrigued with his potential as he will get his base hits, extra-base hits and steals culminating in runs scored," commented a Moab official. "This is especially exciting considering that A-Mc will be the one driving him in."
