I think it would be an interesting idea to try and work Owings in as a spare corner outfielder over the next couple of seasons. There's no doubt in my mind that he could hit cleanup for a few teams in the league. I know that sounds funny, or like I must be really biased -- or stupid -- but the guy can really hit. Everything he touches moves fast and goes far, and he can hit off-speed stuff. That homerun he hit against the Astros was a decent pitch, a slider away that he took to the opposite field. On a bum ankle, too. Putting him in the field as a defender might be too risky, but he would definitely help out with his bat.
