Kenny Williams cannot catch a break. Loses out to Fukudome, cannot land Cabrera, now he will have to listen to those Pale-hose fans who still wish Rowand had never left.

Interesting signing. If they are serious about Matsui, they may compete. Lincecum needs to stay, Alex Rios is not worth giving up that arm for, and if they do get Matsui it will cost them Cain or Lowry.

Rowand may have been the only man available who could patrol that massive center field.
