Aaron Rowand is struggling. Struggling real bad. Through two months, he’s sitting at .230/.260/.398 with a $12m salary, but aside from a brief stint on the disabled list, he’s still playing every day, with the majority of his time coming from the leadoff position. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Giants have struggled to score, with the third-fewest runs in the National League, and the fifth-lowest OPS.

↵It’s a difficult position to navigate. On the one hand, Rowand’s a veteran you expect to produce, and he’s still under contract through 2012, so you want to get him going. On the other hand, he isn’t helping the team right now, and with a .145 average over the last three weeks, he’s hardly showing signs of progress. What is a manager to do?
