Unless he's the 2nd type A they sign...but lets be serious - they aren't signing top level free agents this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015756050247283814.post-2615383141399985712011-10-25T03:14:33.387-04:002011-10-25T03:14:33.387-04:00Yeah, Texas would definitely be the big competitio...Yeah, Texas would definitely be the big competition. The question is can someone bag him while everyone else is waiting on Darvish? <br /><br />Or vice versa - will, for instance, Texas and NY switch off to the known quantity in Oswalt and leave an opening on Yu?The Southpawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12978086362601077757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015756050247283814.post-22800757376675640542011-10-25T02:11:34.879-04:002011-10-25T02:11:34.879-04:00I think the only way Roy Oswalt considers Toronto ...I think the only way Roy Oswalt considers Toronto is if you throw so much $ at him he can't resist it. Otherwise he'll just go to a team like Texas where he's closer to home and has a better chance to win.NorthYorkJayshttp://twitter.com/NorthYorkJaysnoreply@blogger.com
