Oswalt in Dodger Blue?
It's still early in the season. We haven't hit the All-Star break yet. A lot can still happen. The trading deadline is nearly 2 months away. Let's hope the Dodgers take advantage of this and pick up a number 1 or even a number 2 starter. With as hot and cold as their pitching has been, they'll need a stable starter for their bullpen to last the season. The Dodgers realized this last season when there was talk about Roy Halliday going to LA, but they dragged their feet and he pitched against them in the NLCS. Now Roy Oswalt has made it clear he wants to leave Houston. Lets hope the Dodgers learn from their mistake and pick him up. Oswalt has a 2-6 record with a 2.66 ERA. Oswalt has never had a losing record till this season. Indeed he has two 20 win seasons, and five 15 or more win seasons. The only reason he's 2-6 now is a lack of run support from the Astros, where the where the top 5 batting averages range from .291 to .244. No wonder Oswalt wants to be traded to a winning team. He would be a perfect fit for the Dodgers, where the offense doesn't seem to have too much of a problem. Oswalt would add a lot more fuel to the bullpen to keep the fire going and could possibly reach or at least come close to 20 wins this season-something he can't do with the Astros.
