I'm honestly convinced that one of the main reasons for Rowand swinging good right now is that he's no longer hitting behind guys like PK, Dye and Everett. Those guys don't have near the quality at-bats that Pods and Iguchi do. Thus, when Rowand gets to the plate, he's able to see more pitches before he hits and is in a better frame of mind.
Maybe, but I think he sees alot of good pitches to hit in general and doesn't get as much respect as Konerko or even Dye. Still with Pods and Gooch on base ahead of him, Rowand is gonna get some cookies.
