The White Sox are believed to have moved on to free agent Aaron Rowand after losing out on Torii Hunter. Says the Chicago Tribune, Rowand "isn't nearly as dominating as Hunter could be." He was merely the better hitter last year, and he has the superior career OPS. He's also a fellow Gold Glover, for what that's worth, and he's the younger player by two years. We can't be sure how he treats women, but he's about as "dominating" as Hunter when he's on the field. It's going to take at least $10 million and probably $12 million-$13 million per season to sign him. Source: Chicago Tribune
While we're at it... Anaheim Angels of Lost Brains: Morons or Idiots? $18 million a year for a 32 year old OF with a career OPS less than .800, who has never posted an OBP higher than .337 (his career OBP is .15 points worse than league average). He's slightly better than Gary Matthews, who becomes a $10 million 4th OF.
