Owings, Owings, Gone

The Reds designated Micah Owings for assignment. His career ERA stands at 5.11, but his batting line comes in at .293/.323/.538, with nine home runs in 184 at bats. I’d love to see the Cardinals get him. He seemed to give up a lot of extra-base hits when there was a man on first, even with other runners on base. Maybe Dave Duncan can work his magic with Micah and get him to pay less attention to that runner and more attention to the plate. Tony La Russa would use Micah’s bat to give the team more flexibility.

Maybe Texas will think outside the box and grab him for first base.
