After the Astros-Nationals Spring Training game was rained out, Astros SP Roy Oswalt managed to throw 58 pitches in a simulated game. Said Oswalt: “You’re talking about not much difference between [batting practice] and going out there and throwing on a hill. The only thing different is the wait period [between innings] may be a little [shorter]. I went ahead and tried to throw pretty good to get a good workout.”
Analysis:
Oswalt had an injury-filled 2009, which affected his overall stat line. If he stays healthy he is a solid #3 in mixed leagues and a #2 SP in NL-only leagues.
