I usually don't like to partake in other team's discussion threads, but I thought I would help.

I asked about that too. No one seemed to know if Rowand's contract prevented him from being sent down.
After a player accumulates over six years of service time, all their options expire. The only way a veteran could be sent down is through a stint on the DL ("rehab") or by designating him for assignment. They could probably DFA Rowand, but they are risking another team (Phillies) claiming him.
Once you DFA a veteran player you have 10 days to work out a trade with another team. If a player goes unclaimed, most players have a clause in their contract which allows them to refuse the assignment, therefore making him a free agent. It still leaves the team on the hook for the remainder of the contract and the player is free to sign with any other team.
Usually teams don't DFA a player with more than one year on their bad contract, they try to find a trade partner (think: Juan Pierre or Gary Mathews). If it's a bad contract and the player is worthless to the team and is in the final year of their contract, they usually get DFA'd (Think: Pat Burrell, Garret Atkins). However, if a player is a complete abomination and doesn't belong in MLB, plus another team is picking up the majority of the tab he will get DFA'd anyway (Think: Gary Mathews getting DFA'd by the Mets)
Designating a Veteran player for Assignment is very embarrasing to a player. It's usually telling them they are on their last legs. However, designating a player for assignment with a huge contract and more than one year on it (Aaron Rowand) is usually very embarrasing for the player and the organization. The Giants at this point will have to eat a lot of money, so it makes more sense to hold on to Rowand and try to get something for him (Possible bad contract swap, think: Carlos Silva for Milton Bradley). GM's and Team Presidents/Owners have big ego's, sometimes bigger ego's than players themselves, waiving a bad player on a bad contract is admitting a mistake. They don't like admitting mistakes.

Is Lincecum done being "CY Young Amazing"?
Dude is not pitching like it anymore, he's pitching like just another average pitcher.
