Andy Martino of Philly.com sat down recently with 47-year old pitcher Jamie Moyer. Moyer told Martino that he was ready to compete for a job in the rotation this year, and he would not call 2010 his final season.

“You know, I’m going to leave that as an open-ended question because I don’t know how to answer that,” Moyer said when asked if he expected to retire after this year, when his current contract expires. “It could be (my last season). It potentially could be. But so could have last year. So could have two years ago, so could have five years ago.

Moyer had health complications this off-season. He had surgery to repair muscle tears in his groin and abdomen which lead to a blood infection a few days after surgery. In November he found out that he had an abscess in his left groin which caused him to feel ill and queasy.

The pitcher lost his starting job last August when he was sent to the bullpen in favor of Pedro Martinez. However, he has indicated his desire to be a starter this season.

Moyer, was 12-10 in 2009 with a 4.94 ERA. He started 25 of the 30 games he pitched in. You can see Moyer’s contract history and statistics here.
