Way to cash in for Rowand. Gotta wonder what effect this may have on the Matsui discussions.

I imagine that Dave Roberts will shift to left field now?

IMO it ends them. Winn, Roberts, Rowand, Rajai Davis and Fred Lewis is a pretty crowded outfield.

Giants got ROWNED.

 

What happened to their youth movement in the outfield?

I agree, you're probably right. I still think they can use some pop in that lineup, but at this point it would be hard to squeeze someone in.

crowded but not good LOL

 

what a terrible contract by the way...everything I read was that people agreed he was a 4 year contract at best.

The Giants are proving that they're one of the worsr run franchises in baseball.

 

Now I understand they've got smart people, and scouts, and video, etc.... biut they still can't see what everyone else sees?

 

Aaron Rowand had a CAREER year in 2007. He's 30 years old, moving from a fantastic hitters park to a horrible hitters' park... but even with inflation this guy's not going to be worth $12 million in 5 years.

 

The Giants meanwhile have no offense (either Rowand or Bengie Molina will bat cleanup for them) very little in the way of help from the minor league system, and they spend bigtime money on a declining and mediocre Zito last year, then a declining and mediocre Aaron Rowand. The only thing they could have done to prove they were stupider would be to trade Lincecum for Rios.

 

Wow.

30 is a youth movement for the Giants.
