Everything seemed to go their way this series. Everybody who was slumping found their hits. Sadly the Angels are much improved lately.

RamziD;4576929 said:Where did you read that? On the Rangers official site, it just says they are the front-runner to sign him, not that they actually got him signed.

Free agent pitcher Roy Oswalt has signed with the Texas Rangers, The Dallas Morning News reported Tuesday.

For more news, notes and analysis of the Rangers, check out ESPN Dallas' Rangers Report. Blog
Oswalt, who had previously auditioned for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies, Boston Red Sox and the Rangers, had given teams indications that Texas was his destination of choice. He has a close relationship with club president Nolan Ryan, and he apparently likes the thought of pitching for a contending team that's close to his Mississippi home.
Oswalt, 34, has a career record of 159-93 in 11 seasons with Houston and Philadelphia. He is a three-time All-Star who has finished among the top five in National League Cy Young Award balloting five times in his career.
After waiting until spring training and failing to land a job to his satisfaction, Oswalt told major league clubs in late February that he planned to wait until midseason to return.
Information from ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick was used in this report.

Stautner;4576993 said:Very interesting. Not sure what Oswalt has left. He's had a few injury problems so maybe he is healthy now and can become a solid member of the rotation. If he is in the big leagues a few weeks before the All Star game as the article says is possible, and gets several starts and does well before Feliz comes back, it will be interesting to see what they do with Feliz. Feliz makes more sense in the bullpen than Oswalt does, but how would he fit in the pecking order with Ogando and Adams?

RamziD;4577099 said:Great, thanks! I really like this signing. Oswalt is still good as the 4th or 5th guy in your rotation. It also allows us to not rush along Feliz's rehabilitation and then gives us some flexibility in the pitching staff once he does get back.
RastaRocket;4577102 said:Many teams would love to have Oswalt in their rotation above 4th or 5th.
