REPORT: Sox Still In On Oswalt

The Suddenly Popular Oswalt
Jon Heyman of CBS Sports is reporting that—while Roy Oswalt is now on the radar of the surprising Baltimore Orioles—Boston, Philadelphia and Texas are still involved with the veteran as well. Since Daniel Bard continues to struggle with his command of the strike zone, it seems obvious that the Red Sox should end the "starter experiment" and put the fireballer back in the bullpen. This would allow Boston to more aggressively offer Oswalt the starting slot he seems to be demanding—something Texas, for example, could not give him.
