WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Roy Oswalt, whose 143 wins in 10 years with the Astros are second in club history to only Larry Dierker (144), was back in an Astros uniform on Tuesday for the first time since the club traded him to the Phillies halfway through the 2010 season -- a move which essentially began the franchise's rebuild.
Astros manager A.J. Hinch invited Oswalt to the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches as a guest instructor.
"It's great to be back and back around the guys again," said Oswalt, who was a teammate with Carlos Beltran in 2004.
