Rowand on the River
Aaron Rowand led off on Saturday with Jimmy Rollins batting third. Given their torrid starts, that seems appropriate. Aaron currently holds a .460 OBA. What strikes me the most about that number is that he's drawn eleven walks in 86 at bats. In 2006, he drew just 18 walks in 405 at bats. He doesn't appear to be more patient at the plate as his 3.6 pitches seen per plate appearance jibes with previous years. Maybe he's just hitting the ball so hard pitchers are being more careful with him. He's slugging .640 on top of everything else.
