Rowand Agrees with SF

Former Phillidelphia Phillie, Aaron Rowand, has agreed to a 5-year approx $60 million deal with the San Fransisco Giants. Last season with the Phillies, Rowand batted .309 with 27 home runs and 89 RBI. This really doesn't make sense to me because the Giants are a few years away from contending again. Why would he want to go there? But I'm happy he's not in Philly anymore, one less bat that we have to worry about. Philly fans must be bummed that the Giants #5 overall pick in the draft is protected, so as compensation, the Phillies will receive a second round pick and a sandwich pick between the first and second rounds. That is still significant though, because our very own 3B David Wright was a sandwich pick back in 2001.
