Despite his dismal season, Oswalt's peripheral numbers were still solid last year -- so a bounceback could indeed be in order for '10. Don't reach for Oz, as both his bullpen and offense figure to be woeful this year. He does, however, present a fine buy-low opportunity as your draft enters those awkward teen rounds. 13-0-3.45-1.25-150 in 200 IP

Positives / Upside	Oswalt posted an ERA above 4.00 for the first time in his nine-year career last season, and he is focused on bouncing back in 2010. A new workout regimen will hopefully alleviate the back problems that caused him to be shut down in September, and a little more support from his bullpen and offense should boost his win total this season. 15-0-3.35-1.20-160 in 210 IP.
Negatives / Downside	Uhm, who exactly is the closer in Houston these days? The 'Stros threw big bucks at Brandon Lyon to be a set-up man, but, after all, he is still Brandon Lyon. There are a lot of miles on Oswalt's tires, and his slight frame does not inspire confidence that he'll make it through the season without a DL stint or two. 11-0-3.75-1.30-130 in 175 IP
