Micah Owings named 5th starter _ CONFIRMED

Nothing official - yet. But a posted on the DBBP said that this was announced on the radio just now. There will have to be some one removed from the 40 man roster to make this move. i think most agree it should be Casey Daigle.

Three pieces of news came from the Diamondbacks' postgame clubhouse today: Micah Owings is the Diamondbacks fifth starter, right fielder Carlos Quentin will start the season on the disabled list, and indications were that Robby Hammock would be among the last players cut.
Manager Bob Melvin said today he was going with Owings and that he would start next Friday at Washington.

"His last outing wasn’t his best," said Melvin, who, when asked why he settled on Owings replied, "Because he’s good. We saw some things for a young guy that you don’t see. Not only his pitching but it’s the liitle things like holding runners on base."

Owings was told yesterday that he’d won the fifth starter’s spot.

"Like I said before the season, I’m glad I didn’t have to make the decision," he said. "There’s a lot of good guys out there. I’m just excited."

Owings likely will open the season on the minor league roster before being activated for next Friday’s start.
