I agree with you that the Yankees need pitching, that's been their downfall since their W.S. in 2000. I still think Steinbrenner is so focused on offense, that he misses the point on pitching, I think Hunter could very well end up in NY because he's a better option in CF than Damon and Cabrera and I think Steinbrenner knows that.
As for Rowand, again, I think the Giants will be after Hunter and Jones, I think Rowand could be a 3rd option for them, unless they plan on keeping Doc Roberts in center. I really think Rowand will fly under the radar because of Hunter and Jones being free agents.
