Roy Oswalt:

FRAN BLINEBURY has written a very glowing article about Roy Oswalt. My favorite paragraph:


It is, as they say, how you play the game. Oswalt plays it like a member of the bomb squad, certain of which wire to snip.

A great way to look at pitchers is to turn their stats into opposition batting stats. For his career, batters against Oswalt have a .242 BA, a .289 OBA and a .366 slugging percentage. Would you keep a hitter like that on your team? I didn't think so. Oswalt turns hitters into the current Vinny Castilla.
