Will Micah Owings Ever Come Around

The AZ Star had an interesting article about Micah Owings’ return to the minors and his first start with AAA Tucson.  Anyway you look at it Owings has been a project with the D-Backs.  It may start to be time to look at dealing Owings, who surely has potential, to another system while he retains some value.  This would likely occur at the end of the season.  I am not positive this is the best farm system for Owings to mature.  In the MLB this year he was 6-9 with an ERA of nearly 6.00.

Orlando Hudson Out With Wrist Injury

As if the progress of the game so far tonight hasn’t been disappointing enough, we now find that Orlando Hudson’s wrist injury may be somewhat troublesome for him and the D-Backs.  He left the game in the 6th inning.  His over .300 batting and consistency in the infield will be sorely missed, for any period of time.
