Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe hears that Roy Oswalt “may still want to pitch, but, again, on his terms and perhaps for only a half a season.” He adds:
Sounds about right. In addition to not pitching very well last season -- Oswalt posted a 5.80 ERA over 59 innings for the Rangers -- he was not at all happy when Ron Washington moved him to the bullpen.
One can never know what truly lurks in the hearts of men, but there seems to lack a sense of self-awareness in Oswalt. Dude must think he’s still some ace-for-hire as opposed to, well, what he is.
