Who's on 1st? Maybe Owings

NASHVILLE - Micah Owings' bat could get a little more play next season, and
we're not just talking about pinch-hitting appearances.
Owings, who last season made 27 starts out of the Diamondbacks' rotation and
posted a 4.30 ERA, could find his way onto the field, perhaps at first base.
"It's potentially, depending on how our roster looks, an option," manager Bob
Melvin said Tuesday during a Q&A session with reporters.
Should the team re-sign free-agent first baseman Tony Clark, there would
figure to be far fewer opportunities for Owings at the position.
But should Clark not return - and should Chad Tracy be slowed in his
rehabilitation from knee surgery - the Diamondbacks could turn to Owings in
some situations.
Owings, a renowned high school slugger and a part-time designated hitter in
college, won the Silver Slugger award as the top-hitting pitcher in the
National League last season.
In 60 at-bats, including six plate appearances as a pinch-hitter, Owings hit
.333 with seven doubles, one triple and four home runs.
"Who wouldn't?" Owings said last month, when asked if he would welcome a
chance to get more at-bats.
"I think you ask any guy in there, if they can get on the field some more, my
answer would be yes every time. If they can get me the opportunity to swing
some more, I'll take it in a heartbeat."
