Chris Owings deal is a one year, three million dollar deal, which is not bad by any means. It just seems that based on recent trends the Kansas City Royals could have gotten a more productive utility man at a much cheaper price.
The plan is to use Owings all around the infield to the point where he will be getting regular at-bats. It seems the Royals are going to try to get every bit of the money they owe him, if not more.
Owings has played in 580 games over his career and accumulated a career fWAR of 1.
