Chris Owings, Socrates Brito Behind In Camp
7 years agoArizona Diamondbacks infielder Chris Owings (finger) and outfielder Socrates Brito (pinkie) are slightly behind their teammates in camp, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Owings needed a second surgery on his fractured right middle finger in November, but he's on track for Opening Day. Brito injured his finger in winter ball in the Dominican and is "a little behind everybody else." Owings profiles as a super-utility player for the Snakes this year, but he doesn't walk enough to provide a strong average for owners. Owings has decent power and speed, though, so if he manages to win the starting second base job, he could be worth targeting in deeper leagues. Brito has never really been healthy in the major leagues, but he could win the fourth outfield job this spring. Brito doesn't bring much to the table for fantasy owners at the plate.
