A rumor has spread about the possible return of a certain Phillie. He wasn't a Phillie for very long, but he was popular in his short time with the club, and recently played in the World Series. I am talking of course about Aaron Rowand. Rowand posted a career season with the Phillies in 2007, hitting .309 with 27 home runs and 89 RBI's while winning a Gold Glove. After that season, Rowand signed a five year free agent contract with the San Francisco Giants, where he hit only .230 this season and lost his starting job. Rowand is a Philly kind of guy known for his competitive attitude, but skill wise he is clearly on the downside of his career. While a change of scenery may help in out, his production would likely be a significant drop off from Jayson Werth.
