7 years agoArizona Diamondbacks second baseman Chris Owings will get plenty of playing time this year, according to manager Torey Lovullo. "He’s going to walk all over the diamond and impact the game at a different angle at different times throughout the course of the season." The agenda seems to be getting him repetitions at all the infield positions, except first base. The trade of infielder Brandon Drury opens up an opportunity for Owings to win an everyday job at second base out of spring training. If he does, then he just might become a mixed league option. Unfortunately, expectations will have to be tempered, as his power will likely drop due to the new humidor. With a little pop, Owings' speed might still be enough for him to be a viable second base option in deep leagues. Also, be cautious about owning him in on-base percentage leagues (.299).--Ellis Canady - RotoBaller
