Roy Oswalt to pitch opening day for Astros

Williams said he simply was rewarding Oswalt for his brilliant work down the stretch last season when he won four consecutive September starts despite suffering from a groin injury that required offseason surgery.

Did Oswalt get that surgery in the offseason or did he "heal" naturally?

I like that decision.

At this moment, Oswalt is a better pitcher than either Clemons or even Pettitte. He is also from within the organization and busted his ass last year while hurt to contribute to his team.

i like this decision because it means he'll be on the DL a start early.

All true.
