Micah Owings: Diamondbacks Starting Pitcher Sleeper
Posted by: Knox Bardeen in Fantasy Baseball[tag]Micah Owings[/tag], the 24 year old top [tag]Arizona Diamondbacks[/tag] pitching prospect, is looking good this spring. He needs to, as a good spring might be the only thing that will keep him in the DBacks rotation. Last season his minor league numbers looked like this:
AA 12GS 6-2 2.91ERA 74.1IP 69K 17BB
AAA 15GS 10-0 3.70ERA 87.2IP 61K 34BB
Owings is competing with 4 others for the #5 spot in the rotation. Owings has the best spring ERA of the bunch and, if the decision is based on spring numbers, seems to be the front runner. Here’s his spring line so far:
2007 3G 2GS 0-0 1.29ERA 7.0IP 8K 3BB
His K/BB in AAA Tucson is a bit scary at 1.79, but if you look at his whole year, last season it’s 2.54.
As of right now, Owings is a great keeper league option and you can take him in the late rounds of your NL only drafts.
