Owings as a pinch hitter?

Question...when is the appropriate use of Owings going to be?? 1st PH off bench, to avoid burning a position player??...late game power??...specialized use??I ask for I was desperately hoping to get to the 1-hole in the 9th inning last night so Owings could PH against K-Rod...yet Hanigan was on deck when the game ended. With so many hitter on the bench i dont think owings gets enough swings as a regualr everyday player. Why not pinch hit hanigan? Hes s right weith just as much power and owings and i think hes a little bit better at hitting. Owings should stick to hit pitching role and contuine that. Hes struggling right now on hte mound so why take your best role and try to do things at one. Try to get better and get as good at you can at one thing and not medoker at two things. With the rest of the season someing up i still think that they will mak ea trade through the middle of the season to get a power hitting left fielder or a 3rd baseman. This would possibly send edwin to the pinch hitting hole and leave a extra riht handed batter o nthe bench so he could ive certin infirlders the day off of maybe if he could hit certian pitchers better.
