| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2011-04-25 13:00:00 | Are you a believer in Freddie Freeman and Jose Tabata? Can they sustain anything close to their current walk rates (Freeman 12%, Tabata 12.5%)? Which of the two do you think will be more valuable going forward? (Dennis from LA) | Tabata had some solid walk rates in the minors--an improvement on his 6.3 percent rate from 2010 wouldn't be a surprise, especially given his start, but he doesn't have nearly enough plate appearances to say this is totally for real yet, either.
It's the same deal with Freeman. He had some solid walk rates in the minors--pretty good, not amazing--but has good strike zone judgment and low strikeout rates. Tabata is the better fantasy player for 2011, thanks to steals and his position--Freeman, as a first baseman, is going to have a harder time standing out at his position. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2011-02-02 13:00:00 | Who has a better season Brett Gardner or Jose Tabata? Is Gardner going to get 500 ABs? (tony from albuquerque) | My capacity for objectivity is strained when it comes to Run BMG; new addition Jeremy Greenhouse and I constitute the BP chapter of the Brett Gardner/David Robertson fan club. If he can avoid the nagging injuries that handicapped him last year, he'll have every chance to reach 500 AB and put together a better season than Tabata. (Ben Lindbergh) |
| 2010-07-09 13:00:00 | Any thoughts on Jose Tabata? Think he'll hit well enough to be a top-of-the-order guy? (Guido from WV) | Yes, though maybe not in 2010. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-06-28 14:00:00 | They shoot pirates, don't they? Anything to look forward to with the 2010 Bucs so I don't do the same? (frank from vegas) | Well, Pedro Alvarez is up, and while he's off to just a 4-for-35 start, he should be good enough to stick in the majors once he gets his bearings. Neil Walker is taking to the majors as well, and that's worth something, too. I'm less optimistic about Jose Tabata and Brad Lincoln, but they're not hopeless. Andrew McCutchen is a damn fine ballplayer and Lastings Milledge is coming around. It's going to get better. Not immediately, but they're on the right track. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2010-05-11 16:30:00 | If Jose Tabata hits 20 home runs a year, to go with his other stats, what do the Pirates have on their hands? (Joe from Pa) | I guess that's the real question here-- how much power will he have? The lack of power would certainly be a problem, but if he does turn into 20-HR guy, he's gotta be an average corner outfielder. (Matt Swartz) |
| 2010-01-19 15:30:00 | You don't think Jose Tabata is a prospect?? (Ryan from Pittsburgh) | He's a prospect, but not a prospect worthy of the ?? you just gave me, particularly not at the moment of the trade, when the Yankees dealt him after some major discipline problems. Yes, he's operating at a high-level for a 20-year after a few years of not doing too much, but this is a guy who also has 26 career home runs in 431 games. He doesn't walk, not yet, and he's not a big speed guy, so if the power doesn't develop he's going to have to be a consistent .300 hitter to play. (Steven Goldman) |
| 2010-01-13 13:00:00 | John-thanks for the chat. My previous question was submitted last week.
Anyway, when does Jose Tabata make it to the majors and when does the power start to appear?
Is Chase D'Arnaud the Pirates 2bman in 2011? or 2012? (raygu1 from Burlington, NJ) | Tabata's power is going to start to show this year and he'll be up by August. D'Arnaud in 2011. I think he's a fast-tracker. (John Perrotto) |
| 2009-11-17 14:00:00 | I'm trying to figure out Jose Tabata. He's still only 21, and by all accounts he seems to hit line drives every time up, but he doesn't walk and has shown little power. Will he develop further so that he can be a productive regular on a good team? (Joel from Washington, DC) | Sounds to me that you have him totally figured out. Based on what you clearly know, the real question of value revolves around his ability to play center or not. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-08-28 13:00:00 | What's your own take on Jose Tabata, is he going to be nothing more than a Melky Cabrera or could he be a batting champion. (Mike from Utica,NY) | I'm not 100 percent sold on him yet. I'd say Melky Cabrera at this point. (John Perrotto) |
| 2009-05-12 13:00:00 | does Cashman take back the Nady trade in an eye-blink? And are there any other mid-staff pitchers the yanks can give away at this year's deadline? (frank from vegas) | It wasn't the world's greatest trade, but I doubt he loses any sleep over it at all. Calling Karstens and Ohlendorf "mid-staff" is a bit generous, and Jose Tabata had backed them up against the wall (and is presently hitting .250/.324/.297 while on the Double-A DL). That leaves McCutchen at Triple-A. Looks like he'll be decent, but we don't know that for sure. (Steven Goldman) |
| 2008-09-05 13:00:00 | John, where does Jose Tabata start out next year? Altoona or Indy? (Matt from Pittsburgh) | That's a good question. I'd say like Altoona, though how he looks in spring trianing could push him to Indianapolis. (John Perrotto) |
| 2008-07-03 13:00:00 | Austin Jackson over Jose Tabata? And when will we see them playing for the yankees? Could we see Jackson as a September call-up? What is Melky Cabrera's future? (Mike from NY) | Melky's future: 4th outfielder. Jackson looks a lot closer to being ready than Tabata, who has really regressed this season. Jackson could be an August callup, even, if Melky and/or Gardner don't produce soon. (Jeff Erickson) |
| 2008-07-07 13:00:00 | I want to know what your girlfriend thinks of Jose Tabata's decline. (Dan from Florida) | She states that his name sounds like 'toboggan', and therefore it sounds like he should be going downhill. I guess I should warn you all that my girlfriend knows nothing about baseball. Like I had to explain to her the concept of a walk a while back, and she doesn't understand why the pitchers are on another team, and wouldn't it be more interesting if your own pitcher threw to you so you could really hit the ball. She also think home runs should be outs because they don't stay on the playing field. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2008-05-28 13:00:00 | Steve, seems there is alot of public perception issues with Jose Tabata. He has not hit for alot of power yet...he has battles with immaturity. All that being said...he does not turn 20 until Aug, and is in AA. Wonder if his reality will never meet the public's expectations. (Tim from DC) | I don't know what the expectation is. We know he can hit .300 at A-ball even when hurt. Now we have to see what else comes with that, if anything. AS IS he's still not anything. What's exciting is his projectability. It would be way premature to give up on him -- given his age he might not come around for another five years. (Steven Goldman) |
| 2008-05-05 12:30:00 | Are you a Jose T Guy or a F-Mart Guy and why??? (Dewey from NYC) | Are there still Jose Tabata guys out there? (Bryan Smith) |
