Tabata with something to prove

Pittsburgh outfielder Jose Tabata has come to camp lighter and healthier than he was last season and he believes it will make a big difference, reports MLB.com Monday. "Last year was just a bad year. I didn't feel too good," Tabata said. "The leg, the weight ... I did a lot of hard work this offseason. I feel better." Tabata has dropped 10 pounds and hopes to recapture his game, though he'll have to battle for a starting outfield job this year. "There's a lot of guys here," said Tabata.
