 Roy Oswalt-S- AstrosJan. 20 - 4:55 pm et
Roy Oswalt (back) is confident that a new offseason work regimen has properly prepared him for the upcoming season.
Oswalt made 30 starts for a sixth straight season in '09, but was plagued by back problems throughout, in part due to a bulging disk that causes hip pain and numbness in his hand. A specialist recommended that the 32-year-old right-hander cut back on his running and do more core-strengthening exercises to get prepared for 2010. "I think people read into it a little too much it," said Oswalt. "I'll be ready when it gets time to go. This new workout stuff should help a lot." Oswalt was 8-6 with a 4.12 ERA last season.

Roy Oswalt (back) is expected to be healthy by the start of spring training.
Oswalt struggled with back inflammation throughout the 2009 season. Specialists recommended a swimming program for him this offseason, which should help the 32-year-old build stamina without overly exerting his back. He finished '09 with an 8-6 record and 4.12 ERA in 30 starts.

Astros named Brad Arnsberg pitching coach, Al Pedrique bench coach and Bobby Meacham first-base coach.
If the Astros had many young pitchers worth worrying about, we'd be more critical of the Arnsberg hiring. His track record when it comes to injuries, both in Florida and Toronto, is horrible. Pitchers seem to like him, though, and the Astros don't have many talented young arms to burn out. Pedrique, the Astros' third-base coach for a time last year, was one of the candidates for the managerial vacancy before Brad Mills was hired.

Astros general manager Ed Wade acknowledged Tuesday that he's concerned about Roy Oswalt's health.
Oswalt struggled with back inflammation for a good chunk of the season. He has decided to rehab this winter rather than undergo an operation. "We got to hope that he stays dedicated to the exercise program that's been prescribed," said Wade, "and he does everything he can to make sure that his back isn't an issue." Behind Roy, the Astros have Wandy Rodriguez, Bud Norris, Brian Moehler and Felipe Paulino. They may want to chase a free agent arm.

Astros placed RHP Roy Oswalt on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to September 16, with lower back inflammation.
Oswalt received a second opinion on his back Thursday from Dr. Andrew Dossett at the Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. The verdict? He won't need surgery and should be fully healed by the start of spring training. The 32-year-old finished the year 8-6 with a 4.12 ERA in 30 starts.

Roy Oswalt will get a second opinion on his back Thursday with a visit to Dr. Andrew Dossett at the Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas.
Oswalt was declared "done for the season" last week due to a dehydrated disc and inflammation in his lower back. According to Astros general manager Ed Wade, it's basically just a fact-finding mission; the right-hander has no intention of trying to return this year.
