Oswalt Talk Continues

I really thought this was settled, but Nick Cafardo says otherwise:

Roy Oswalt, RHP, free agent - It’s early in the Daniel Bard experiment. The jury is out on whether Bard will be needed more in the bullpen with Andrew Bailey showing signs of nagging injuries. Oswalt is still in play, and later in camp, the Red Sox could put on a full-court press for him.

The column has several good tidbits, but this one also stands out:

J.D. Drew, OF, free agent - According to Scott Boras, Drew has not announced his retirement. Drew had his worst professional season in 2011 (.222, 4 homers, 22 RBIs in 81 games), but he can still play right field at a high level, and many scouts still believe he can hit. Could Drew be an extra player off the bench for an NL team? Evidently, if it were close to his Georgia home, he would consider it.

Maybe this "play near my house" thing is a trend.
