Aaron Rowand Might be Heading Back to Chicago

AL Buzz: Rowand return to White Sox still possible
The Phillies did have too many outfielders this season, but Delluci now gone and people wanting to get rid of Burrell that is now not the case. Rowand is a great and would be greatly missed, unless of course we got someone great in return.
According to multiple reports out of Philadelphia, Phillies GM Pat Gillick would be willing to deal Rowand and a pitcher - either reliever Ryan Madson or starter Gavin Floyd - to the White Sox in exchange for starting pitcher Freddy Garcia.
Garcia is a 30 year old Venezualan who 17-9 in 33 games with a 4.53 ERA for the White Sox last season. This year he made $9 million.
Ryan Madson would be a nice reliever to have to let go and Rowand is a very valuable outfielder. If they go do it for Floyd I'd be very happy. Garcia would be a nice starter to have in the rotation.
