Aaron Rowand a Giant

Well ... he's still the same height he was earlier this year, but he did just sign a 5-year FA deal w/SF

The Mets just got a little better.

The Phillies will find him hard to replace.

Because of this, the Giants have broken off talks with the MFYs over Matsui.

i would have thought their plan to replace him has become brad lidge

I think the idea is slide Shane 'The Flyin Hawaiin' Victorino over to CF as Jayson Werth takes over full-time in RF. Michael Bourne was the identity (see what I did there?) of the other CF candidate but he was the guy who went in the Lidge deal.

Yeah, Burrell/Victorino/Werth is nobody's idea of a bad outfield. They just lose some of the glorious redundancy they had last year. Yeah, they get worse, as I said above, but we're still in a position of rooting for injury or Burrell going into one of his three-month tank jobs.

I'd be surprised if they really went Victorino/Werth. I mean they could, but I'd think they'd explore other options first. Cameron maybe? Rowand hit 27 HRs and 45 doubles last year -- I'm glad he's out of there.
