OF Rowand signs minor league contract with Marlins
Veteran Aaron Rowand has signed a minor league contract with the Miami Marlins and will contend for a job as a backup outfielder.

Good Bye Aaron Rowand and Migeul Tejada
Aaron Rowand and Miguel Tejada were designated for assignment this morning and the collective response of the fan base has been pretty positive.
Tejada was a stop gap measure and it turned out that he didn't have much left. The move didn't work out but it wasn't a huge mistake.
Rowand on the other hand was a pretty big acquisition in the offseason following the 2007 season. He...

Aaron Rowand Returns to the NL East
Aaron Rowand has started his path back the NL East as he just signed a minor league deal with the Miami Marlins. (Just saying that if was a minor league deal he wanted, I would have totally done that) Anyway, Rowand was cut last year by the Giants after hitting .233. He has one year left on his contract and the Giants still owe him 12 million for the upcoming season (minus the major...

Could A Creative CF Solution Include Aaron Rowand?
Aaron Rowand was released by the Giants and is looking for a job right now. If he could be signed for a very cheap price, he could provide an interesting solution to our OF problems.
Pagan right now is the question mark in the outfield. A possibly solution, if the market is right, would be to go through the arbitration process with Pagan and trade him for 5 million dollars worth...

Thoughts on Rowand, Tejada, Burrell, and Pill
Examining today’s moves….
Rowand: I despise Rowand. The other day, I pondered whether the giants would ever get rid of Aaron Rowand:
[...] will Aaron Rowand stay a Giant throughout the remainder of his contract? Like Cain, Rowand has shown a consistent trend over the last several years (though not a positive one): since 2007, Rowand’s weighted on-base average has dropped...

2011 Season in Review: Aaron Rowand
Few players in franchise history have put together a greater showing of futility than Aaron Rowand in 2011 — and during his tenure as a whole, for that matter. In 2010, Rowand had hit .230/.281/.378, effectively losing his starting job — and setting an extremely low bar of performance standards. Yet somehow Rowand managed to put up even worse numbers this season: .233...

Aaron Rowand Shouldn't Start Against Righties
As friend of the blog @notGiantGM likes to remind us, Aaron Rowand is not a good hitter against right handed pitchers and especially ones that throw sliders. The only reason that he should be penciled in the starting lineup against a righty is because a sea lion got loose in the Giants clubhouse and injured every other person with an outfield glove and replacements from Fresno couldn...

The Tejada decision was an easy one: he was on a one-year deal and simply never showed MLB ability this season, posting a .239/.270/.326 line. The Rowand...
