Micah Owings

Owings is ok. His stuff is not great at all. I guess he can be serviceable in deep mixed leagues..

I dunno, I remember hearing much the same thing about James Shields last year, and he turned in a brilliant season.

Super underrated.

anyone have any predictions for him...... I would assume average K-rate 3.50-3.80 Era and low whip. Anyone agree disagree? I'd take this with a grain of salt since I'm just assuming.

I love owings on my deep NL only league. But anyone nervous as I am when they use him in non traditional ways?

Today's Diamondbacks/Padres game. Bottom of the seventh. Padres 6, Dbacks 3, runners at 2nd and 3rd and no one out. Owings pinch hits, and strikes out.

I know he is a great hitter, but it doesn't help me fantasy wise when they have him hitting!!

How can you not like him..he gets to face SF,SAD,and LAD all the time

Well, LAD is pretty good..but have not got their bats going yet.

His stuff actually looks better than I remember it being last year, he's 90-94 mph on his fastball and also is mixing his changeup well. His slider isn't a great pitch, it seems to have mediocre movement, but it's been working thus far.

I think he has the stuff to maintain a sub-4.00 ERA the whole year. Look at his stats in the last 2 months of last season. He had a sub-1.00 WHIP and an ERA around 3.00 in both. Not saying he gets that good, but he'll be solid. The one concern I will mention is that he's a flyball pitcher pitching in a hitters' ballpark in Arizona, and he will give up homers as a consequence.
