    Phillies No more retirement for Oswalt?

    Roy Oswalt's agent, Bob Garber, said his client is no longer considering retirement.
    In spring training, Oswalt, 33, said he would "play this year and see how it goes," and after his midseason back woes, the righty wondered aloud whether he was done pitching. But, he's been healthy for a couple months now and Garber says he's rejuvenated. "There's been a rebirth," Garber said. "There's been talk in the past about retiring, but that's not even in the cards at this point. It's a different Roy. It's a different feeling for him right now. He's enjoying the game right now like he used to when he was younger. He's definitely not retiring." The Phillies have a $16 million option on Oswalt for 2012, which they're not expected to pick up.
    If the Phillies do decline his option and he doesn't retire, he would be a very sexy option for teams next year. He's had his injuries this year but has still pitched well when healthy and wouldn't require a long term deal. He will be 34 next season and could be a good replacement for the Wilson if the Rangers can't re-sign him. I'm sure he would love to return to the state of Texas.

    Would be a good stop gap for NYY or BOS too
