    Owings and Zambrano were first two I thought of.

    Dontrelle and CC are good too, but they are in the wrong league.

    Honorable mention to the Jasons: Marquis and Jennings (wherever he is these days)

    For slugging percentage, I would think Zambrano tops the list. Getting power out of the ninth spot is a real plus.

    Zambrano is the only pitcher I've seen the manager call to pinch hit when he still had other players on the bench.

    The first two that came to mind were Dontrelle and Micah.

    First half of the year Micah was pinch hitting pretty regularly.......kind of a slap in the face to their bench players.

    Crazy Charlie Z, Headcase Hampton and Jason Marquis popped into my noggin initially. Adam Wainwright deserves some mention, believe he's around .230-.240 career hitter with a few flies.
