Is Jose Tabata worth in owning in a HTH Points League?

[lefthandedforlife]

I read something the other day that was talking about Jose Tabata and how he is undervalued in points leagues. What do you guys think?

Also, should I drop any of my pitchers for Ian Kennedy? He's playing for a losing team but still enticing. NOTE: I can only have 6 SP & 3 RP so I'd have to drop a SP.

fwiw, I'm happy with him as my fourth outfielder in a roto league

I heard he has some decent value in a toto league but is his value the same long term in a hth points league?

I currently roster him in my 10-team points leauge below:

SO basically, yes, he has been great. But he is on a downward trend recently. In my format, if you can get 3ppg from each position for the season, you're in line to be a champion. 3ppg is essentially what you shoot for. Currently Tabata is at 3.2ppg, so he's been a solid option for me. Keep riding it unless this current slump drags out over a long period of time.
