Didi Gregorius--Any chance at increased playng time?

[Sour Masher]

Chris Owings has played well this year, and after a cold spell, seems to be back on track with his hitting. Nonetheless, Didi has hit really well in AAA, and has come up with a pair of homers in his first two games started so far since the call up. Didi is considered the superior defender, but Owings seems to be playing well enough on that end too.

So, where does that leave Didi? If he keeps rakings every time he gets the odd start, does he get more starts? Do they also consider playing him or Owings at 2b to sit Hill? Hill hasn't played well so far, but he is owed 12 mil a year for the next 3 years, so I can't see them benching him outright. But could he and Owings be benched enough to make Didi a viable player in a 16 team mixed league?

It'll be interesting to see if they start to go with a platoon out there at SS...if so, Gregorious is on the good side as a lefty, and it may be best for the club as a whole. I can't see any way that Hill get's his playing time cut, he's doing OK, not great, and they'll leave him in the lineup waiting for him to get hot.

I would expect Didi to get traded - Mets?

Or Tigers, if Suarez doesn't pan out. The questions are (a) can Gregorius really hit enough?, and (b) what do teams have to offer Arizona for him?

Arizona needs a lot and while DiDi isn't a plus hitter, he does enough to make him a viable choice for a few teams. I have a feeling that the D-Backs are overvaluing him though.
