This may sound ridiculous, but I think you are underselling his potential. Then again, I am a Tabata fanboy.

I may be, but I prefer to aire on the side of caution. He needs to have a dynamite season in order for me to believe he can be the generational talent that people claim.
And I just don't see a ton of power out of him. I see power, but not Manny Ramirez kind of stuff.
Until I see the raw power, his ceiling can't be incredibly high. Maybe Tabata has the tools to hit .340, but it's more likely that he'll be a .300-.315 hitter, which good power and good plate discipline.
His defense is good, but nothing special.
Of course, I could be wrong. A guy with Tabata's talent can create his own new archetype.

Iīve been dreaming evere since I heard the Manny comparisons, but I havenīt seen the numbers from him yet. He can be really good, but to be like Manny it will take a lot of hard work, talent development, health and luck.
Letīs hope he devolopes his power this year and shows more promise on that. If he can get Bernieīs good numbers heīs going to be an all-star and maybe MVP player.

Hello! Thanks for Article . Can Tabata still grow and increased his weight from to 160 to 230 anytime soon?

Alex, Tabata's listed weight is wrong, he's actually about 185-190 I would say.
The thing to remember too when looking at Manny v. Tabata is Manny did not sign and start playing professionally until his age 19 season. Tabata is about to play in advanced A ball in his age 18 season. That's an ENORMOUS difference.

Fabian, I understand that it is an enormous difference, but Manny is a 70-80 power guy. Tabata is what, a 55 at best?
It's hard to compare a prospect to a first ballot hall of fame hitter.
