Someone in my league really wants Oswalt. He is open to trading some of his pitching. I have been looking at BB vs. K's and the remaining schedule for the rest of his staff. Where would you rank Oswalt among these? Who should I target? Do you like any of his pitchers more than Oswalt?
H2H, 5x5, non-keeper
Clayton Kershaw Dan Haren Johan Santana Mat Latos Matt Cain
Personally, I like Oswalt better than any of those for the rest of this year. If it's a keeper... Kershaw and Latos are definitely winners. However, there seems to be a trend of keeping young pitchers' inning count low. I wouldn't do a 1-to-1 trade with this guy. Try to get a decent hitter as well, especially if he really wants Oswalt.

I appreciate the feedback. Looking at the rest of the season, Oswalt might have the easiest road, and his inning won't be held back. Maybe I should try and target Zimmerman or Vlad with maybe Latos (for example). Any trade suggestions on getting a hitter back?

I think Vlad and J.Santana might are great buy-lows. Not sure if Oswalt is worth both together, but you could throw in Ethier maybe, or Huff if you think he'll cool down.
