Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt is motivated to prove that he's still one of the game's elite performers. He was a two-time 20-game winner with the Astros, earned National League Championship Series MVP honors in 2005 and finished in the top five in NL Cy Young voting five times. "Sometimes you get with a team for nine or 10 years and you get in kind of a rut, I guess you could say," Oswalt said. "You come over here and you've got the guys that we have on our pitching staff, and you're trying to keep up." Oswalt said early last year that some people considered him washed up. He then went 7-1 with a 1.72 ERA in 13 appearances (12 starts) with the Phillies, who acquired him last July. "I was drafted in the 23rd round," Oswalt said. "There have been questions since then, so it's nothing new to me. Just keep going out there, throwing up numbers, and maybe they'll believe one day down the line."
