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?
