Jamie Moyer, 47, and the oldest active player in the majors said that his intentions are to pitch next year, even if it’s not with the Phillies.

According to David Murphy of the Philadelphia Daily News, Moyer is set to make a few starts in the Dominican winter league, in preparation for the 2011 season. “I don’t want to go to spring training and be a comedy act,” said Moyer. “If I’m going to pitch, I’m going to go somewhere, whether it is here or another team, and compete for a job.”

Moyer is in the final year of a two-year contract. He has a base salary of $6.5 million this season. Before he was injured, the left-handed went 9-9 with a 4.84 ERA in 19 starts over 111 2/3 innings pitched this season for the Phillies.
