    Oswalt

    You guys think he's worth picking up and waiting until he's ready to pitch?

  2. #2

    I think if you have the room on your roster and dont' lose out on someone else it's worth it. He's not that great even if healthy probably this year, but it's worth the flier in hopes he has got it going when he does return.

    I'm not a big Oswalt fan. Last year he didn't have much of a season. He will get some Wins with Texas, but his ERA and Whip won't be much to help out. If you have an open spot or somebody to cut, sure why not and test it out.

    Guy sucks more than sideloaded at the YMCA. He may toss a decent start or two but unless you get him cheap, I'd pass.

    think his best days are over

    Playing in Arlington is good and bad. Good because easy to get wins, but bad because that ballpark is a bandbox. Homerun after homerun. Again though, if you are adding him off waivers and have the room worth the add, but otherwise no to me.

    That's the right way to go about it. Be the 1st one to stream him.
    Keep him if he throws a gem
    dump him if he's gotta play hot bats

    bad move. I had the option of picking up him on multiple occasions and I passed. Guy wasn't great last year in the NL. Don't think he will be much better in AL especially in Arlington where teams tend to put up alot of runs. As stated above he might pick up a win or two here but high ERA and WHIP. I'm sure you can do better than him.

    His only saving grace is that the Rangers have an offense that can blow up and help him win an 11-8 game.

    It's a gamble but isn't that the name of the game?

  22. #22

    Yeah, I've always been an Oswalt fan. I really hope he has a strong rest of the season...

  23. #23

    Oswalt looked strong on Tuesday night in picking up the win against Oakland.

    Pitcher IP H R ER BB SO HR PC-ST ERA
    R Oswalt
    (W, 3-1)
    6.1 3 1 1 0 6 1 103-72 5.22

    His fastball clocked out at 91 and he actually threw a curveball that registered in at a blazing 57 mph.

    Talk about mixing up your pitches and changing speeds!

  24. #24

    Oswalt's next start is on Monday when the Rangers host the Red Sox.

    I believe the game will be on ESPN and it starts at 8:00 ET.

    Oswalt got lit up tonight...

    That ERA can't help out much right now just to try and pick up a few wins.

    Oswalt will be back in the rotation by the end of the year. Just needs to get a little more snap on his curve and he will be fine
