It would've been awesome to see Bret again. I liked him when he was a Phil, seemed to be a fun guy in the clubhouse. But I wonder if it was the snub by the Phils in regards to resigning him that has fueled his efforts on the mound, or even the lack of pressure to perform for the Astros. Becoming a Phillie again might change his current level of intensity. That said, it seems unlikely he would return, at this point, with this Oswalt deal hanging in the balance I don’t usually say this, but I kinda agree with you Bill.

So not quite a free agent. I'm still a buyer for him, his deal is so much better than an arbitration deal the phils would have gotten.

The obvious example was last week when he refused to pinch-hit for Joe Blanton with the bases loaded. My biggest problem with him is how he sticks too long with starting pitchers.
