PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Jose Tabata grew up listening to
his father regale him with tales of Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente.

The 23-year-old Venezuelan have plenty of time to do it now.
Tabata signed a six-year, $14.75 million contract extension through 2016
Sunday with three club options that could keep him in Pittsburgh through 2019.
 Tabata, acquired in a trade deadline deal with the New York Yankees in 2008,
 is considered one of the cornerstones for the Pirates, who have already
surpassed last year's 57-win total with six weeks to go in the season.
"He's one of the staples we need to have in place to be a championship
organization to win the NL Central in the future," said Pirates manager Clint
Hurdle.
The contract includes club options of $6.5 million in 2017, $7.5 million in
2018 and $8.5 million in 2019, a potentially hefty investment for one of
baseball's more budget-conscious teams.
Yet general manager Neal Huntington thinks the signing could be a steal if
Tabata continues to improve. He began Sunday batting .267 with four homers
and 17 RBIs during an injury plagued season that's included a lengthy trip
to the disabled list with a quad injury.

這位曾經洋基農場被看好的小子,08年在Nady跟Marte的交易中被交易到海盜.
6年14.75m加上三年選擇權.2017 6.5m 18 7.5m 19 8.5m.看來終生要在海盜了.
應該也算海盜難得的長約.
