Chris Owings has started at shortstop in three consecutive games for Arizona.
He collected two hits on Saturday, and did so again on Sunday. Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson continues to express an interest in evaluating Owings for the 2014 season. Arizona is suddenly confronted with a stacked depth chart at shortstop. In addition to Owings, who was named Rookie of the Year of the Pacific Coast League after hitting .330 with 12 home runs, 81 RBI and 20 stolen bases in 125 games, the Snakes employ Didi Gregorius, Cliff Pennington and prospect Nick Ahmed. Expect the aggressive Diamondbacks to thin the ranks with at least one trade over the winter.
