bobcatfan Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 Roy Oswalt currently stands at 134 wins with one more start before the all star break. Oswalt has 2 years left on his contract after this season, plus a club option for 2012 (which im sure the Astros would pick up if Oswalt is still pitching well). I've heard Oswalt has said he will retire after his contract expires. But if he is still pitching at a high level when his contract is up, i hope he will continue to pitch. If he pitches well over the next 3.5 years (including club option), which is the length of his remaining contract, i imagine he will be close to the 200 win plateau, which i'd like to see him get. Every year he starts slow and people say hes done, then he picks it up after the first couple months and pitches like we expect. I think hes still got some left and can pile up some more wins if he can actually get some run support. But what do yall think?
bullets13 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 if he's only giving 3.5 more years, i don't see it happening. he'll probably average `12-15 wins a year over that period. as he gets older, his slow starts will probably last longer. he'll also be more prone to injury.
EAGLE07 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 I'll have to go w/ Bullets. I'd think 3.5 more years would put Roy in the 180-185 range.....and that's w/o injury. I hope he can last long enough to collect # 200.
