Agreed.
I’m glad someone followed up with that question. His first one word answer of ‘yes’ made it sound like a bigger problem then his follow up answer did.

hahahaha – sure, come mid season when we’re leading the wild card and we need a pitcher I’m sure we’ll be in touch with Oswalt’s agent.

I don’t think it would surprise anyone to find that Santana or Ike or Murphy put o na little winter weight seeing as to how they spent a good portion of their offseason recovering from surgeries and/or injury.

This from his agent SRT.

JimBowdenESPNxm:
Bob Garber agent for Oswalt “Roy has every intention of pitching for a contending club at some point this season”

So I guess we can expect the Mets to come calling at some point this season?

LOL…someone followed up on that question:

‘Does your journalistic integrity preclude naming said players who are “out-of-shape” at camp this year?’

Rubin: ‘Not journalistic integrity. There’s no one obese. A few guys can afford to lose a few pounds. And they will.’

In Rich Coutinoh’s defense, he has been subsiding on Garden hotdogs and beer the last few weeks.

O.K., not for nothing Roy but The Rocket you ain’t….
Not a doubt in my mind though that Philly wouldn’t pick him up if there’s a need.

By the way SRT it looks like Oswalt will take the Roger Clemens route and be ready for a in season call by some team in need.

Who could it be? Hmm let’s see how does it go again Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy?

OT.

Someone asks Ruben in his chat this afternoon ‘Anybody in camp appear out of shape?’
His one word answer: yes.

Oh boy…..

Yankee fans will still get Jeter to start the all star game in 2015

I like that you did this, but I’m curious if you’re counting on Pujols, Verlander, Lincecum, Fielder, Reyes, Han-Ram, Halladay, etc. to all be retired/finished in 3 years, or if this is just a “Futures” list? I agree with not trying to guess on a 41-year-old Jeter, but Pujols will be 35, Fielder will be 31, Verlander will be 32, Lincecum will be 31, etc. and I’d doubt that ALL of the current All-Star/MVP caliber players will be retired or above-average by 2015. So, again, I’m curious if this is more of an All-Star Watch List then a projected 2015 lineup?

LOL….I can’t even predict who will be on the 2012 AS team, let alone 2015.
Fun to speculate, I suppose.

Same bet goes for Duda.

If Dudau ever hits 50 yacks in a season, I’ll buy you a sandwich.

Not mad at all, so far we have yet to see if his offense will out weigh his in ability to play defense. I sure hope you are right, but when you set expectations of 50HR lol…
