Padres sign Micah Owings
He is a big fly ball pitcher. Great for Petco Park. Not just because of home runs but because fly balls find gloves at a higher rate at Petco Park.
He is one of the best hitting pitchers in baseball. He could pinch hit for the Padres too. His career SLG is .500+
I expect he will battle for a spot in the bullpen and be a spot starter. Anthony Bass just got some competition for long relief and spot starter. If Bass loses he could be a starter in the minors and be called up for any starts that become available, he could bump another reliever out of his spot, or he could win a starter job if more than one starter fails in ST.
