Kevin Goldstein talked about this awhile ago, but it was about Josh Hamilton instead of Micah Owings. Hamilton routinely hit 96 mph with his fastball in high school and completed his senior year with a 0.00 ERA. The consensus is that to simply be in the big leagues doing
one thing was hard enough; to be an actual two-way star would be next to impossible.
Doesn't mean it couldn't happen, though. That being said, injury risk to a pitcher who is also playing OF on his offdays has to be pretty severe.

I remember hearing that about Hamilton (and Greg Toe Nash), but if you can make an educated guess, IYO where is Owings more valuable
n the mound or in the field?
