a mess in texas?

This latest Roy Oswalt thing is turning messy. The Weir High and Holmes Community College product allegedly is not happy that he has been sent to the bullpen by the Texas Rangers. He has pitched well in two relief stints, but he declined to throw a third inning in his most recent outing, a stance many see as selfish. He allegedly wants to be traded from the team — this first-place, World Series-caliber team — that handed him a midseason opportunity, plus some big bucks, to be a starter. His ERA in that role is well over 6.00. His last start was awful. So now Ryan Dempster has taken his spot in the rotation. According to reports, the Rangers aren’t going to release Oswalt, nor will they trade him for nothing. Wonder if the second-winningest Mississippi-born pitcher in history will just stomp his foot and walk away?
