Jose Tabata is off to a slow start for the Pittsburgh Pirates which makes him a great buy low option.
Analysis: Jose Tabata is hitting just .133 on the season but there is plenty of reason to expect a turn around. Tabata is a career .280 hitter who does not strike out much and is always looking to make contact. Tabata is also fine in the speed department. He has 37 career stolen bases in just 199 games played. His power should be surfacing soon as well. While he may not be a twenty home run guy, he will hit fifteen or so homers when he does reach his prime. Tabata is fully capable of hitting double digit home runs this year so don’t let the slow start fool you.
Tabata does have two stolen bases this year in seven games. If he stays near the top of the Pirates’ batting order runs scored should not be a problem for him either. Tabata is available in tons of leagues across the country and you will not find his stock any lower than it is at the moment. If he can stay healthy he can steal nearly thirty bags this year.
