I've never seen a better infield play than Scott Rolen diving to his right on Wednesday, landing on his back, raising his torso just a little off the ground and throwing out a fast baserunner (Billy Hall) at first. That takes arm strength of the highest magnitude.
The DBacks need to move Micah Owings to first base, and maybe yesterday's performance against the Braves will get them thinking. I saw him play a couple of times for a top-ranked Tulane team two years ago, when he was the cleanup hitter and number one pitcher. I liked his bat better than his arm. He will be a serviceable pitcher in MLB for 12 years, but as a hitter he could be something special.
