[外電] Rangers, Oswalt agree on one-year deal

http://m.mlb.com/news/article/2012052932434348/ ARLINGTON -- Veteran right-hander Roy Oswalt is joining the Rangers. He is not expected to join the Texas rotation, though, for at least another three or four weeks The Rangers signed Oswalt to a one-year contract worth $5 million with another $1 million in incentives, according to industry sources. The club has yet to make an official announcement. Oswalt was a free agent who has not faced Major League hitters since the end of last season. Oswalt, 34, is expected to need at least three or four starts in the Minor Leagues before he is ready to join the Rangers. Texas signed him to eventually fill the spot in the rotation that came open when Neftali Feliz went on the disabled list with a sprained right elbow. Feliz is not expected back until at least the All-Star break. Right now, Scott Feldman is filling the void and started against the Mariners on Tuesday night. The Rangers' other option was to move reliever Alexi Ogando into the rotation. Ogando was an All-Star as a starter in 2011 before being moved to the bullpen this season. He has not pitched more than two innings in any of his 22 relief appearances and would likely to require at least two or three starts in the Minor Leagues to prepare for a starting pitcher's workload. The Rangers were also not encouraged by their options at Triple-A Round Rock. Martin Perez and Neil Ramirez are their top two prospects, and both have struggled in the first two months of the season. Perez is 3-4 with a 5.80 ERA after 10 starts, and Ramirez, who was starting on Tuesday night, was 5-4 with a 6.48 ERA in 10 starts. The Red Sox, Orioles, Phillies and Dodgers all showed some interest in Oswalt, but he made it clear in the offseason he would prefer to pitch either with the Cardinals or the Rangers. Oswalt has a long relationship with Rangers president Nolan Ryan and makes his home in Mississippi. Oswalt pitched with the Phillies last season and was 9-10 with a 3.69 ERA in 23 starts and 139 innings. Over 11 Major League seasons, he has a career record of 159-93 with a 3.21 ERA. He won 20 games for the Astros in both 2004 and '05 and is a three-time All-Star. He has also had a series of back/hip problems that forced him on the DL five times in six years. He was on the DL twice last season with lower back problems. ============================ 條子戰力有點誇張（＿；） -- ◆ From: 203.72.178.252 05/30 09:47
