Rowand wants Giants to acquire Crede


Andrew Baggarly of the Mercury News reports, new Giant Aaron Rowand was apparently asked for a character reference for former teammate, and free agent 3rd baseman, Joe Crede from the Giants front office.


Though Rowand does admit he may be biased because of being teammates he said "They inquired and asked about what kind of guy he is," Rowand said. "They obviously know what he can do as a baseball player."


Crede was limited to only 47 games in 2007 due to injury and underwent surgery to fix a herniated disk in June of last year.


"He's one of the most clutch hitters I've ever played with," Rowand said. "I can't tell you how many ballgames he won for us in '05. He makes adjustments, he hits home runs, he hits in the clutch and he plays Gold Glove third base."
