NL West Preview
Published 4/1/2009 by Patrick Sullivan at Baseball Analysts
... Rich: Aaron Rowand is the highest paid center fielder in the NL West by far and possibly the least productive offensively. So his value must be due to his defense, right? Well, his advanced defensive metrics (-7.3 UZR/150 games in 2008 and a fifth-worst -24 Plus/Minus over the 2006-2008 period) belie his reputation as a Gold Glove-caliber fielder. But do not despair Brian Sabean supporters. Rowand is "only" owed $12M per season for the next four years. ...

He batted over .300 five times for the White Sox, getting some MVP consideration in 1926 when he drove in 108 runs with only 8 homers and hitting .345 with an OPS of .892. He became a beloved baseball coach at the University of Texas and the stadium is named after him. And to the best of my knowledge never had a whiff of scandal hanging over him.

... for a higher average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage than former Royals slugger Carlos Beltran did that season with the Mets. Emil set out to prove in 2006 that he was no fluke. He did not disappoint. He improved in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage. He again led the team in RBI and led the team in doubles and walks. He posted a better OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) than Ken Griffey Jr., Ichiro Suzuki, Aaron Rowand or Curtis Granderson. Then came his spring training rant. Its weird, ...

30 Teams, 30 Days: Day 6 - San Francisco Giants

... .  The 27 year old first baseman has a .775 OPS in 6 minor league seasons, and showed some pop in his 62 game call up last season.  He is a switch hitter, so he can benefit from getting a majority of his at bats as a lefty, shooting for the Cove. Player most likely to have a disappointing Home Run Season:   This is kind of funny given the bouqets I just threw at him, but I have to say Aaron Rowand .  His 27 Home Runs last year were a career high, and only the second time he’s hit more than 20 HR.  This team won’t have players like Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Pat Burrell ...

... for the past two seasons, slightly above in 2006, slightly below in 2007. That appears to be confirmed per his defensive stats on baseball-reference.com, his fielding percentage, zone range, and zone range per 9 innings are all about average for his career. However, in 2007, he was much higher in fielding percentage and zone range than the league average so there was some growth there over his career. And with our centerfield and Death Valley, we need a good defensive player there. ...

Moron Cubs ready to shell out buttload of cash on Fukudome

... Ichiro and one from the New York Yankees, (Hideki) Matsui ," is going to be a solid MLB player, no one that has made the jump from the Pacific that was hyped up any has really stunk, except maybe for Kaz Matsui . But the price is just off the wall. Go ahead and pay it Cubs, you will have no cash to add payroll in late summer if you are in the playoff picture. And wouldnt two mid-level free agents that play the outfield (such as Geoff Jenkins or Aaron Rowand ) be a bigger investment, particularly since you dopes are up for sale? Oh well, go ...

Jones Or Bust

... a solid player, but his typical season only creates about 75-85 runs (in part because he's constantly battling nagging leg injuries -- a red flag as he grows older). Aaron Rowand is in the same boat. He had a terrific season, a career year, and put up 115 Runs Created. But his previous two seasons were in the 50s and 70s. He can't stay healthy either. (And he was also helped tremendously by a very favorable hitter's park) Jones has a much better offensive track record than either of those guys. Defensively, some say that he's lost a step. That's certainly true. But he's still ...

Compared to Pujols -- who is a monster this year, even though he's been slumping for most of it -- and it's not really hard to figure out who the best option would have been with the bases loaded last night. That's not a guarantee Pujols would have made the play, but he certainly gives the National League a better shot to win than Aaron Rowand ever will. ...
