April 20, 200917 yr I think there's a very good possibility we could see Owings as the DH in AL parks. Do you risk playing your #5 pitcher in the field though? Will he help you more pitching every fifth or sixth day or by DH'ing in two to three games in a series? Or maybe a better question, what can the Reds replace quicker? A RH bat with power or a #5 pitcher?
April 20, 200917 yr Will he help you more pitching every fifth or sixth day or by DH'ing in two to three games in a series? Or maybe a better question, what can the Reds replace quicker? A RH bat with power or a #5 pitcher? That's a good question, but I know Owings doesn't want to give up being a starter. How many days do you think you could start him in LF, and still expect him to take the ball every 5 days?
April 20, 200917 yr I wouldnt start him in the field. But would at DH. However, the recent Chris Carpenter injury may cause Dusty to rethink that.
April 20, 200917 yr That's a good question, but I know Owings doesn't want to give up being a starter. How many days do you think you could start him in LF, and still expect him to take the ball every 5 days?I would propose to do it this way. Owings would typically have four days between starts. I wouldn't start him in the field on the day after or before he pitches. Anything else (that leaves days 2 and 3) could be fair game. He could do his bullpen session/side work before a game if he is needed to play in the field.
April 20, 200917 yr Did I hear correctly that the Reds are the worst-hitting team in MLB right now? They have to be. Who is hitting for this team besides Votto?
April 20, 200917 yr They broke out with a robust 7 hits today to raise their average to .210. Pretty amazing they are over .500.
