As Roy Oswalt put the finishing touches on a cabin he's building on his property close to Weir, Miss., he took the time to answer some questions.

For the second consecutive year and third time since he was a rookie in 2001, Oswalt was voted the Astros' Pitcher of the Year in 2007 by the local chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. In 2001, he was the chapter's Rookie of the Year.

And barring injury, he will start on Opening Day in April against the San Diego Padres and his good friend Jake Peavy, the 2007 NL Cy Young Award winner.

The all-time leader in victories at Minute Maid Park, the three-time All-Star has been the Astros' opening starter for the last five seasons. He's in line to set the franchise record for consecutive opening day starts if he can start this opening day against the Padres.
