Offseason Fears, Vol. MCMVII

I'm almost okay with the Giants acquiring another second baseman and moving Freddy Sanchez to third. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to pay a bunch of money for a player whose worth is completely intertwined with his ability to play a good defensive second base, but...

Aaron Rowand hurt his left shoulder playing Tag!!! I don't know about you, but if I got hurt like that, I'd be coming up with a different story.

It's not about the money huh? This is a horrible move on Rowand part. Oh well, enjoy the cash.
Thanks for that, but screw you.

I appreciate everything Aaron Rowand did for the Phillies. He brought grit and tenacity to the clubhouse, and put up some decent numbers while here only 2 seasons. "The Catch" is a story I'll be telling my son about in years to come. However, I bleed Phillies red and...

Rowand made $4.35 million in 2007 and is reportedly seeking a 4-year deal that could be worth $10 million per season. He is coming off career-highs in just about every offensive category. His biggest impact, however, might be his presence in the clubhouse, where he was one of the most...

Today in Philly Sports History: Dykstra Breaks Collarbone for Second Time, 1991
Before Aaron Rowand and Shane Victorino were running into walls for fly balls, the Phils had a center-fielder by the name of Lenny Dykstra with a propensity for going a little too all-out. Nails had already broken his collarbone once in the 1991 season, after getting into a car crash...

Final Score:
Giants – 6

I’m not sure what was more entertaining. The fact that the Giants proved me totally wrong by not only winning a huge game on the road, but, the fact they scored 6 runs or Duane Kuiper’s hilarious botched homerun call. Aaron...

Now that teams know they won't need to give up a draft pick, suitors are starting to line up for Pat Burrell. Reports are the Angels, Mariners, and Giants all have interest in the 32 year-old free agent.
All three of these teams could use a bat like Burrell, but the best fit...

Supposedly, the easiest position at which to find a hitter is first base. Alas, we are Giants fans. It's a little disingenuous to say there's a post-Will curse on the organization -- J.T. Snow did provide a couple of fantastic years to bookend the meh -- but there hasn...
Phillies Magic Number - Aaron Rowand

A Tale of Two Cain's
When Brian Sabean signed Aaron Rowand this offseason it became clear that the San Francisco Giants had no clear direction. Signing an average hitter coming off of a career year in a hitter’s park to spend five years in a pitcher’s park just did not make much sense. This...

Two things just happened. The Giants signed Aaron Rowand to a five year deal worth $60 million, and Brian Sabean just said that Cain and Lincecum are off the table. I say, Hoo-fucking-ray to both. Rowand ain’t great, but all he cost us was money, (pretty much anybody is getting...
