Phillies Still Hope To Retain Oswalt, LidgeThe Phillies have declined the 2012 options on the contracts of pitchers Roy Oswalt and Brad Lidge, but that doesn't mean they are done in Philadelphia. The team paid a $2 million buyout to Oswalt and $1.5 million to Lidge. Philadelphia general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. says he would like to bring back the players for 2012.

"I've gone through this rehab knowing that my arm and body will stop me if they have to. So far they haven't."
