New Rockies pitcher Jeremy Guthrie taking questions for “Fan Mail”
Ronald Martinez, Getty ImagesThe Rockies expect former Orioles starter Jeremy Guthrie to be an innings-eater and anchor the Rockies young rotation.
When the Baltimore Orioles traded Jeremy Guthrie to the Rockies, the right-handed pitcher was surprised — but pleasantly so.

Fantasy Baseball – Coors Field And The Colorado Rockies
When drafting in a fantasy league it’s always important to look at park factors. Jesus Montero would have been a fantastic option had he qualified at catcher when he was with the New York Yankees. But the trade to the Seattle Mariners killed his value, as Safeco is one of the toughest parks for power hitting right handed batters. His opposite field power should help him out...

Is Guthrie the Rockies new ace?
When he was with the Baltimore Orioles pitcher Jeremy Guthrie was the ace of the staff. He didn’t have ace stuff but on that staff it’s what he was. 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...

Did The Baltimore Orioles Make The Right Move Trading Jeremy Guthrie?
As Dan S pointed out a few days ago, the Baltimore Orioles were finally able to trade their #1 starter, Jeremy Guthrie. For a team that was looking to build towards the future, it seems like an odd move to trade Guthrie to the Colorado Rockies for reliever Matt Lindstrom and starter Jason Hammel. So the question is, was it a worthwhile trade for the O’s?
Guthrie’s acquisition...

Final numbers on Belisle’s new contract

Orioles Trade Jeremy Guthrie to the Rockies
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.

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...
