 | Monday, May 5th, 2008: AL Tabs Athletics Right Fielder Jose Tabata As Player of the Week Not every ball that came off Jose Tabata's bat last week was a line drive or a towering shot--it just seemed that way to the teams that played the Oakland Athletics. For his exploits, Tabata was named the recipient of the latest American League Player of the Week award. The Oakland right fielder treated the pitchers he faced to 14 base hits in 25 at-bats for a .560 batting average. He pushed across 5 runs and scored 6, 3 of those runs coming on his own home runs. Tabata is hitting at a .296 mark so far this season. He has raked 16 singles, 8 doubles, and 5 home runs, punching across 15 runs batted in to date. Tabata has struck out 6 times, earning 10 walks for the year. He has a .358 OBP and an OPS of .888. |
