Jose Tabata went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's loss to the Braves. After taking a .111/.158/.111 triple slash into Pittsburgh's April 20 game against the Cardinals, Tabata has been steadily heating up, going 11-for-29 (.379) in his past seven games. With the worst apparently behind him, the time to take a flier is now if a frustrated owner dropped Tabata at the apex of his slump.
