White Sox Keen On Rowand?
The Philadelphia Inquirer mentioned today that Aaron Rowand remains a favorite of White Sox management. According to the paper, the Sox are expected to try to sign him as a free agent after 2007. Of course, Kenny Williams and Pat Gillick seem to get along well these days, so a deal could be struck. On the other hand, Ryan Sweeney or Brian Anderson could be a solid center fielder by 2008 for the league minimum.
Two days ago, Buster Olney mentioned that the Padres were kicking around the idea of sending a reliever to Philly for Rowand.
If i were Pat Gillick I trade Rowand back to the White sox for Josh Fields. A nice young prospect who plays a real weak spot for the phillies.

I think Gillick would pounce on that one.

For Fields? I'd drive Rowand to the airport.

by the way, I am really hoping that the next expansion team is called the blue sox...that would be great.
