"Using the bat makes a lot of sense for Owings, who has — shall we say — struggled on the mound after being pretty good as a rookie in 2007 and in the first part of 2008 with the D-backs. He has a 5.11 career ERA in 410 innings. By contrast, it's Owings' bat that has always attracted more attention. Owings has a career line of .293/.323/.538 with nine homers in 198 plate appearances." ---------------------------------------------- interesting......
