Re: Micah Owings
He seems like a very good hitter at the plate. He can hit for sure. The home runs he hit were absolute monsters. I've never seen a pitcher hit two home runs that were that huge.
His stuff didn't look very good on the mound, though. Mostly, he just ran in to a Brandon WebbLagged Braves' bats.

Re: Micah Owings
He's always been a good hitter. There was no denying that. And his stats will never really jump out at you pitching wise. Even when he was 10-0 at AAA last year his real strength was pitching himself out of jams that he found himself in. He really has a knack for that.
