DENVER — Any doubt how much the Rockies’ value Matt Belisle was erased over the last few days. Colorado signed the right-handed reliever two a new contract and then traded co-setupman Matt Lindstrom to the Orioles in the Jeremy Guthrie deal. The Denver Post has obtained Belisle’s contract, which is similar to the extension given Rafael Betancourt. Belisle will make $4.1 million this year with a player option for $4.25 million in 2013. He can also make an additional $450,000 for games finished beginning at 40 games and ending at 60.

Not a fan of the Jeremy Guthrie trade...

Via Oriole Post  |  February 07, 2012
This afternoon, I asked people's feelings on the Jeremy Guthrie trade on Twitter, and from what I got, people hate it. I'm a bit confused why this trade happened now (despite Guthrie's arbitration hearing) and what the team got in return. That being said, Dan Duquette held a press conference with the local and electronic media this afternoon about the trade. I didn'...

Is Guthrie the Rockies new ace?

Via My Sports Rumors  |  February 09, 2012

What’s interesting though is he’s gone to a slightly more competitive team in the Colorado Rockies and has a legitimate chance at becoming that teams ace. I never thought this was a possibility especially...

Orioles Trade Jeremy Guthrie to the Rockies

Via Dempsey's Army  |  February 08, 2012
The Orioles have traded workhorse starter Jeremy Guthrie to the Rockies for SP Jason Hammel and RP Matt Lindstrom.While I am sad to see Guthrie go, he was likely gone at the end of the season anyway and would have commanded somewhere around $9 million in salary through arbitration this season. Like the Luke Scott situation, I'm not sure why Guthrie was still on the team and believe...

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

Via Baseball Professor  |  February 07, 2012
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...

Rockies’ age-old question on opening day

Via All Things Rockies  |  February 08, 2012
DENVER — The Rockies got old fast this offseason. They have become the anti-Hollywood. While society is obsessed with staying young, the Rockies’ projected opening day lineup figures to jump from 28.4 to 32.4 years old. If the players are better, it doesn’t matter if they are older. But the figure paints a clear picture of the Rockies’ striking transformation...
