Sources: Oswalt prefers Cardinals     The St. Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Phillies have emerged as the two prime contenders in the Roy Oswalt auction, sources told ESPN.com on Thursday. But much to the Phillies' chagrin, two people who know Oswalt well said he prefers to land in St. Louis. Oswalt Oswalt Sources who have spoken with the Astros say that while St. Louis might be Oswalt's first choice, trading their best pitcher within the division isn't the team's first choice. The Astros continued to talk to the Phillies, and have tried to lure other clubs into the bidding. A source told ESPN.com that Astros owner Drayton McLane was likely entertaining the trade talks as a favor to Oswalt, a franchise cornerstone, but if Oswalt pushed too hard, he could overplay his hand. According to one source, the Cardinals offered two young players off their major-league roster for Oswalt. Among the prospects the Astros are likely to press for: last year's No. 1 pick, 19-year-old right-hander Shelby Miller. The Phillies, meanwhile, are thought to have offered pitcher J.A. Happ and a list of younger prospects for the Astros to choose from. But Houston is looking for higher-ceiling young players, particularly a catcher and/or corner infielders, than the names on that list. Other clubs report the Phillies have continued to shop outfielder Jayson Werth in the last 24 hours, in part to see if he could bring back a prospect or prospects that would help them complete the Oswalt trade. But there were no signs they were making headway with any team on Werth. Oswalt is asking the Phillies, or any team that acquires him, to guarantee his $16 million option in 2012 before he would approve a trade, according to two sources familiar with the discussions. However, the Phillies and other interested clubs have balked at picking up that option so far. "In the end," said an official of one AL team, "I don't believe the guy is going to insist on getting that option picked up. He wants out. And if he really wants out, that's going to change." Oswalt, 32, has about $7 million left on his $15 million salary for this year, plus a guaranteed $16 million next season and either a $2 million buyout or that $16 million option for 2012. Oswalt's agent, Bob Garber, has not returned multiple calls from ESPN.com in the last 48 hours.

UIL: Adding Conference 6A 'more likely than ever' Associated Press CNHI SAN ANTONIO, Texas — There is growing support to create a Conference 6A that would send even more Texas high school football teams to the playoffs, the head of the University Interscholastic League said Monday. UIL executive director Charles Breithaupt said "it's more likely now than ever" that about 1,200 high schools would be realigned into six classes of roughly equal size in a shake-up geared at putting more teams in the postseason. Under the plan, four schools from every district of every size would make the playoffs. Currently, only the two largest classifications — 5A and 4A — advance four teams from each district. Critics say it has created watered-down system where schools that finish 2-8 can sometimes advance in weak districts. Breithaupt said schools have consistently indicated on surveys that more playoff teams are better. He wondered if the preference was a product of the everyone-gets-a-trophy mentality that has become common in youth sports leagues. "You look at the generation we're raising up ... you say those kids are used to getting more," Breithaupt said. "They're used to being in the playoffs. They're used to an extra game and a trophy and being crowned. So maybe it's just us fitting in with societal needs." Schools will be surveyed about the proposed expansion in October. If there is wide support, the plan could be approved as early as January. Football realignment is always a hot-button issue in Texas. Until 1989, only one state champion was crowned for each classification. The next year saw Class 5A split its playoffs into Division I and Division II championships, a system that has trickled down to lower classifications. One issue is the growing disparity of enrollments between schools in Class 5A. Some have called for the UIL to create a "superconference" of the 100 or so biggest schools, but Breithaupt said the talk now has shifted to making the classifications more balanced. Breithaupt said making six classifications of about 200-210 schools would be easy. Giving an example, Breithaupt said the current six-man Class 1A Division II would become Class 1A, the current 1A Division I would become 2A, 2A would become 3A, and so on. Breithaupt didn't want to predict whether the plan — one of several ideas on the table — will pass, but said it was generating a lot of attention. "I think there is a lot of interest from our schools of having six complete conferences and having four teams in the playoffs in everything," Breithaupt said. "At this time, it's the thing I'm hearing more from our schools."
