In the mid-2000s, Roy Oswalt was considered one of the top pitchers in the National League. “Os” would have five seasons where he was voted in the top five in National League Cy Young balloting, and it was his arm that won the NLCS MVP in 2005, getting Houston to their lone World Series appearance.

Oswalt was a very good starter for an extended period of time, but was it enough for Cooperstown? It probably isn’t, though it can not be forgotten that in a six-year period, he finished in the top five in Cy Young voting for five of those years.
