Ex-Giants OF Rowand hired by White Sox as minor-league coach

Aaron Rowand wants to pass on his baseball knowledge and remain a family man.

His new opportunity with the White Sox affords him the chance to do both.

The White Sox named Rowand, who got a taste of the role last spring, as the team’s new minor-league outfield and base running instructor on Monday.

His schedule calls for Rowand — who played five seasons with the White Sox, including winning a World Series title in 2005 — to work with the organization’s players in spring training, sporadically throughout the season and then for a month in September and October at instructional camp.
