Oswalt would be a perfect fit. The shame of it is till the team is sold there's ZERO hope of it happening...
Oswaly is declining and declining fast. He has the same old fastball and curve and is loosing both of them slowly. His pitching style has worn him down and he wont be affective for much longer.
Be a good move for the rangers if they can get him for scrubs but i wouldn't give any promising prospects away for Roy O. I have always loved Roy and been a big time Astros fan and don't blame him for wanting out, but there are much better options out there.
like who??
Oswalt will be good for another 2 to three years and is light years better than anything they have in the rotation.
Right now the rotation is mediocre at best. Rich Harden has been the Rich Harden he was in Chicago and Oakland, overrated over hyped all based on "stuff" Hes a more talented version of Brett Tomko. Colby Lewis is OK but, come on can't be relied on for a whole season. CJ Wilson is a converted reliever and is now coming back to the pack as evidenced lately. Holland is really young and Feldman stinks.
The Rangers need 1 MAYBE 2 good solid inning eating starters to have a shot a the division.
Also wouldn't hurt to add a second lefty to the bully. The bullpen with two good leftys Ray Feliz Francisco and O'Day would be a damn good one.
Right now, the Rangers need 1 more solid hitter, two starters and a left reliever before I can get 100% confident in the postseason.
I didn't say he wouldn't be a good pickup for the right price, but this guy isn't going to make the franchise turn any corners. All im saying is I wouldn't give away any top prospects for him. He honestly is a pretty mediocre pitcher right now and its early in the year. Other options will become available if the Astros asking price is to high.
Oswalt could be completely rejuvenated on the Rangers. I would love for this to happen.
Count me in for this deal.
• An official from another team said word going around is that Roy Oswalt would approve a trade only to the Phillies, Yankees or Cardinals.

Yeah I didn't see them trading Smoak and I don't think they wanted to either as they kept offering Davis. They eventually gave up.
Honestly trading a prospect like Smoak will only make sense if you give Lee an extension.
Period.
Yeah I agree or if they end up winning it all this season.
lee is much better
