Fantasy Analysis
The 34-year-old Rowand will have to impress in spring training to make the Marlins club this season. Rowand had one of his worst years last year and that followed an even worse season in 2010. At this point, Rowand is not a player worth targeting on Draft Day. (Updated 12/12/2011).
