2-1 losses are the fault of the Astros offense, not Roy Oswalt.

i understand who's fault it is but battling in so many of those games has taken its tole on this rather small framed man.

I believe the next big "battle" for a starter this year will be for the services of Rich Harden. With Devine and Gaudin getting off to good starts this year it shouldn't be long before Mr Bean(e) starts listening to offers for Harden. The Yanks should take the opportunity if Kennedy and Hughes don't come around soon.

Harden needs to show he can pitch more then three games before getting injured. His stuff is Ace quality, but he can't seem to stay healthy. He looked great at the beginning of this season. But I don't see anyone giving up anything close to what Beane will want for him, until he can proove he can stay out there.

Not sure when he is set to return, but he will need to be really really good from now until the trade deadline, or I think Beane will hold onto him until next season.
