Newsbreakers
August 21, 2009
Micah Owings struggled in his first start since coming off the DL on Friday. He allowed five runs on five hits and a walk in five innings and took the loss as the Reds fell 5-2 to the Pirates.
Our View:
Owings, known more for his live bat than his limp arm, was 1-for-2 at the plate Friday. He has an ERA near 9.00 in his last five starts.
August 20, 2009
According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Reds have activated Micah Owings from the disabled list.
Our View:
Owings will start for (and swap roster spots with) the injured Johnny Cueto. He will take the hill Friday against the Pirates, but his 5.35 ERA should tell you to leave him off your fantasy roster.
July 27, 2009
A day after leaving his most recent start after just two innings with shoulder tightness, Micah Owings has been placed on the disabled list, according to the team.
Our View:
The Reds might miss him more for his slugging ability, however, than his pitching. In 18 starts this season, he has gone 6-11 with a 5.35 ERA and ugly 1.64 WHIP. Reliever Robert Manuel has been recalled to take his roster spot.
July 26, 2009
Micah Owings lost for the 11th time this season on Sunday, pitching just two innings of a 5-2 Reds loss in Chicago.
Our View:
He actually left because of shoulder tightness, however, and not his general ineffectiveness. Owings now has a downright ugly 1.64 WHIP, and is miles away from being able to help your fantasy team. Owings is due to have the shoulder examined on Monday.
July 9, 2009
Micah Owings was lit up for seven earned runs on eight hits over 4.1 innings in Thursday's 9-6 loss at Philadelphia. He issued four walks with one strikeout.
Our View:
Owings was a disappointment tonight after allowing three total earned runs over his last two starts. He should remain erratic as a fantasy hurler.
July 4, 2009
Micah Owings notched his sixth win of the season on Saturday as the Reds beat the Cardinals 5-2. Owings went 6.2 innings and allowed two runs on six hits while walking two and striking out six. He also went 1-for-3 at the plate with a solo home run.
Our View:
Owings has been good over his last two starts, and he is starting to pick up some steam when it comes to fantasy value. NL-only leaguers might want to give him a look if you are in need of some pitching.
June 28, 2009
Micah Owings allowed four walks and five hits over six innings on Sunday, but found a way to work out of jams. He only allowed one run and struck out four in the Reds' 8-1 win over the Indians.
Our View:
Owings improved to 5-8 on the season and lowered his ERA to 4.63. Not the best fantasy starter, but he has allowed two runs or less in four of his last five starts.
June 23, 2009
Micah Owings got hit hard on Tuesday, allowing six earned runs in 5.2 innings of work as the Reds fell to the Blue Jays 7-5.
Our View:
Owings has been in danger of losing his rotation spot, and Tuesday night certainly did not help his case. But after three straight solid starts, he may be given one more reprieve before being yanked.
June 17, 2009
Micah Owings picked up his fourth win of the season in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Braves. He was 1-for-1 with a home run, three RBI, and a sacrifice at the dish. On the mound, he allowed six hits, two walks, and two runs scored. He did not strike out anyone.
Our View:
Owings continues to impress at the plate just as much as he does on the mound. In three June starts, he has allowed only five runs in 15.1 innings. He also has seven RBI in 22 at bats.
June 11, 2009
Micah Owings enjoyed a solid outing from the hill in Thursday's 3-2 loss at Washington, as he only allowed one earned run on four hits over 5.1 innings. He had four walks and four strikeouts.
Our View:
Owings pitched very well tonight, despite the four free passes. Washington scored two runs in the eighth inning, leaving Owings with a no-decision. Owings has now gone six straight starts without a win, but allowed two or less earned runs in each of his last two outings.
June 5, 2009
Micah Owings allowed two earned runs on five hits over six innings in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Cubs at the Great American Ballpark. He had three walks and six strikeouts.
Our View:
Owings has taken a loss in four of his last five starts, and has seven losses for the season. He is not fit for fantasy duty right now.
May 31, 2009
Micah Owings was not sharp against Milwaukee on Sunday, falling to 3-6 after giving up five runs off eight hits and and three runs while striking out five in 5.2 innings.
Our View:
There's no denying Owings' fine athleticism or skills as a hitter, but he's simply been too unreliable thus far to merit any consideration as a fantasy starter.
May 21, 2009
Micah Owings was rocked for five earned runs on six hits over a mere three innings in Thursday's 12-5 loss to the Phillies at the Great American Ballpark. He issued three walks with three strikeouts.
Our View:
He falls to 3-5, but suffered his first loss at home over three starts.
May 16, 2009
According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Reds have moved starter Micah Owings' turn in the rotation back a day to keep Johnny Cueto on pace for his regular start.
Our View:
Owings will be available out of the bullpen this weekend and may get some work there with reliever Nick Masset dealing with a strained side.
May 12, 2009
Micah Owings had a strong outing against his former team on Tuesday with seven innings of one-run ball where he allowed just four hits and two walks. He collected his third win in the Reds' 3-1 victory over Arizona.
Our View:
Owings is now 3-3 on the season and has a 4.33 ERA. He's not the best fantasy starter as he doesn't strike many hitters out and has a tendency to get rocked but he's serviceable.
May 7, 2009
Micah Owings helped out his own cause on Thursday, as he knocked an RBI triple and then scored on a passed ball in the fourth inning of the Reds' 6-5 victory over the Brewers. On the mound, Owings went six innings and allowed five runs (four earned) on seven hits while walking one and striking out four.
Our View:
Owings was average on the mound, but once again he proved why he is one of the best hitting pitchers in baseball history. His pitching stats leave something to be desired for fantasy owners, however. Too bad you can't play him in your lineup when he pitches.
May 2, 2009
Micah Owings was rocked for five earned runs on nine hits over 5.2 innings in Saturday's 8-6 loss at the Pirates. He issued two walks with no strikeouts.
Our View:
This was Owings' worst outing of the season, and marks the first time he did not fire any strikeouts. He falls to 1-3 over four starts.
April 26, 2009
Pitcher Micah Owings worked seven strong innings against the Braves on Sunday and improved to 1-2. He allowed six hits and one run, walked three, and struck out six. Owings also went 2-for-3 with a double and a run.
Our View:
Owings allowed his fourth homer of the season, but it's nice to see him finally pitch like he did this spring. He remains an enigmatic, unreliable fantasy option.
March 31, 2009
Micah Owings allowed four runs in his five innings of work Tuesday, but only one was earned. He allowed six hit and three walks and was tagged with the loss.
Our View:
Owings defense failed him, but he didn't help much allowing nine runners to reach base. He still has a great ERA this spring at 1.52, but expect that to climb drastically this season as the Reds fifth starter.
March 30, 2009
Micah Owings has been named the fifth starter in the Reds' rotation, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. He beat out Homer Bailey for the spot.
Our View:
Owings held a passable 1.39 WHIP with 87 strikeouts over 104.2 innings in 2008, and is worth consideration as a sleeper for NL-only leagues. He is also a solid hitter, and will provide a bonus with his bat.
March 26, 2009
Micah Owings earned his third win of the season Thursday as he beat the Twins 6-4. He threw four innings of one run ball, but gave up six hits and five walks.
Our View:
It's hard to believe Owings only allowed one run while allowing 11 base runners, but he did. He's been sharp this spring with a minuscule 1.45 ERA and should be a factor in the Reds' rotation.
March 23, 2009
Micah Owings is battling Homer Bailey for the fifth spot in the Reds' rotation, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Nick Masset is out of the race.
Our View:
Owings looks to be the favorite for the job, and the club has suggested that they may use Bailey out of the bullpen as a reliever. Owings would be worth targeting as a sleeper for NL-only leagues, and would provide a bonus as a solid hitter.
March 8, 2009
Micah Owings threw four innings of scoreless ball Sunday against the Blue Jays. He allowed just one hit, walked one batter, and struck out six.
Our View:
If he's right, Owings has an excellent chance of surpassing his career-high of eight wins in the back end of the Cincinnati rotation. He struggled most of last year with Arizona, amassing only 104 innings in 2008, a season in which he started 18 games.
February 26, 2009
Micah Owings threw three scoreless innings of two-hit ball Thursday as the Reds fell 10-4 to the Twins.
Our View:
If Owings can shave a run to a run and a half off of his 2008 ERA of 5.93, he will be an impact arm at the back end of that Cincinnati rotation. Plus, we all know he can hit.
February 21, 2009
Reds manager Dusty Baker will use Micah Owings as a pinch-hitter and a reliever if he is unable to lock down the fifth spot in the team's rotation, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Our View:
Owings was lauded as the best hitter on the team by some of his Diamondback teammates last season. Unfortunately, most fantasy leagues will not count the offense that pitchers are able to produce.
February 16, 2009
Micah Owings is gearing up to push for the fifth spot in the Reds' rotation, according to the Associated Press. Owings is now pain-free after suffering through a shoulder strain last season, and manager Dusty Baker noted that he has looked sharp in his recent throwing sessions.
Our View:
The 26-year-old has upside as a starting pitcher, and his solid hitting skills would provide a bonus to fantasy owners. He is worth targeting as a late-round flier.
