This morning, the Rockies traded away Jason Hammel, a starter who has posted relatively high BABIPs over most of his career. While his .280 BABIP last year doesn’t look so bad, the distribution of when those hits came (.272 BABIP with bases empty, .291 BABIP with men on, .300 with RISP) &#...

Colorado Rockies trade for Orioles ace Jeremy Guthrie

The clubhouse cleanup continues for the Colorado Rockies.On Monday morning, the Rockies shipped Jason Hammel and Matt Lindstrom to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for the Orioles four-time opening day starter, Jeremy Guthrie.The right-hander went 9-17 in 2011 with a 4.33 ERA.

Fantasy Impact: Orioles Send Guthrie to Rockies for Hammel, Lindstrom

In what many are calling a puzzling trade, the Baltimore Orioles have agreed to send starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie to the Rockies for starter Jason Hammel and reliever Matt Lindstrom. I’ll leave it to the experts at Fangraphs and ESPN to debate the why. What I care about is the how — how this trade affects the fantasy values of those directly involved (Guthrie, Hammel...

Orioles Trade Jeremy Guthrie For Hammel, Lindstrom

I thought the Orioles should have been trying to trade Jeremy Guthrie (during the deadline last year, if possible), given his age and proximity to free agency, but I never thought the team would do it given that Guthrie - though not exactly an Ace by any stretch of the imagination - is the only pitcher on the club they could count on to be productive (ie, he's theirace). But...

Rox trade Hammel and Lindstrom for Guthrie

Even with pitchers and catchers due to report to Spring Training in less than two weeks, the Colorado Rockies continue to make trades. The club agreed to a deal with the Orioles Monday morning that sends right-handers Jason Hammel and Matt Lindstrom to Baltimore for starter Jeremy Guthrie.

Orioles Trade Jeremy Guthrie For…Huh?

This is a trade that just doesn’t make sense to me: The Rockies and Orioles are nearing an agreement that would send starter Jeremy Guthrie to Colorado, most likely for pitchers Jason Hammel and Matt Lindstrom, reports Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun. (MLB Trade Rumors) Let me preface this by saying that I like Jeremy Guthrie and Jason Hammel more than most people...

Colorado Rockies trade two pitchers for Jeremy Guthrie

This morning, the Colorado Rockies shipped Jason Hammel and Matt Lindstrom to the Baltimore Orioles for Jeremy Guthrie. The Rockies also settled with Guthrie on a contract before the arbitrators could decide his case. MLBtraderumors.com broke the story this morning.

Orioles Trade Rock-Steady Starter Jeremy Guthrie For Two Pitchers

The O’s sent Jeremy Guthrie to Colorado for pitchers Jason Hammel and Matt Lindstrom. Hammel is a big 29-year-old righthander who’s been a starter for a few years and hasn’t really distinguished himself in any way. Lindstrom is a 31-year-old RH reliever who throws hard. That’s all I know about those guys. What we know about Guthrie, 32, is that he was the...

Rockies and Orioles swap innings eaters

The Baltimore Orioles and Colorado Rockies made a rare February trade today, with Baltimore sending starter Jeremy Guthrie to the Rockies in exchange for starter Jason Hammel and reliever Matt Lindstrom. Guthrie then immediately agreed to an $8.2 million contract in his final year of arbitration. I don't understand this deal at all for either team. Guthrie is a solid starter...

Duquette shows interest in Manny, again

We can't compare this to the year 2000, but Dan Duquette is showing interest in Manny Ramirez. The man who signed Manny to a monster deal 12 years ago could be Manny's ticket back to the majors. That is if Dan Duquette decides to take it beyond the "exploring the options" stage. MLB.com Duquette -- fresh off a morning trade with the Rockies that netted pitchers...

Orioles deal Jeremy Guthrie to Rockies

The Baltimore Orioles have traded presumed Opening Day starter Jeremy Guthrie to the Colorado Rockies in return for pitchers Jason Hammel and Matt Lindstrom.  It’s curious move for Baltimore and a potentially terrific move for Colorado.  The Rockies obtain a veteran starter to front what figures to be a very young rotation.  Guthrie is no ace but he is dependable and could...
