Owens doesn't deserve to be called up because he is awful, I'm not saying Dewayne Wise is any good but Jerry Owens can't hit the ball out of the infield.
Wise probably won't see much time, we'll see a lot of BA/Alexie in center and Uribe(ugh)/Alexie at 2nd. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Thome get a start at 1B in an NL game.....
That is NOT true, Owens has 1 career home run so he has hit the ball out of the infield, haha. But yeah, I think it took about 100 at bats for Owens to finally get his first RBI. I don't have the confidence in Owens being the leadoff hitter on this team.
