If Oswalt has his way, Pettitte won't have such a long drive next spring.

"I've actually been kind of campaigning to get him back one more year, but I don't know what he's going to do," Oswalt said.

At least publicly, Pettitte isn't saying if he'll be willing to pitch in 2009. In his first news conference of spring training, he admitted he would have stepped away from baseball if the Yankees had told him they didn't want him back after he admitted to using HGH twice, once while with them, then in 2004 while with the Astros.

Meh

Not sure how I’d feel about his returning. I personally was mystified at all the deification of Pettitte post-Mitchell Report. Maybe I missed something, but he lied when he left (only admitting that he might want to actually play after SI broke the story that he was close to signing with the Yankees), and then only admitted his HGH use after being caught, or about to be caught. Sure, no doubt compared to a lot of ballplayers he’s a decent human being, but he was only a good pticher for a total of about a year of the three that he was here, and he’d be too expensive, IMHO.
