08:14 AM ET 02.14 | Walt Jocketty on Monday sounded like a guy who was ready to open the spring with his current roster intact. "I think so," he said. "We'll meet again Wednesday and review it. But I think we're pretty well set. We've got 57, 58 guys. It's a good mix." That would mean no Roy Oswalt. Jocketty said the Reds have had no contact with Oswalt's agents in the last week. "I think he's waiting for Texas to clear money," Jocketty said. The Reds did not send a scout to see left-hander Scott Kazmir throw in Houston. "We chose not to based on what we've seen the last few years," Jocketty said. ... Aroldis Chapman is in Arizona and throwing. "He's healthy and feels good," Jocketty said. The plan is still to get him ready as a starter.

According to recents reports from Daniels, they have far exceeded their payroll from last year. I don't see this.

These Oswalt threads are so flippin' redundant. I hope he ends up having to take a huge paycut and play for a small market team that doesn't make the playoffs.

He knows the storyline by now. Perhaps he'll wait it out (a la Roger Clemens) and hope a team finds a need. Someone's rotation is always falling apart by April.

Aroldis "Nuke" Chapman is quite the phenom. Fun to watch; scary to face!

Unless starters start dropping like flies in Surprise, I don't see the Rangers signing him.

chapman have to be ready to become a starter, but he really needs to focus on working mentally because he has to transfer his mind in the starter position and forget about being a reliever!!!!
