It's the same ailment that sent him to the DL last year with the Giants, though it wouldn't be surprising if it's a phantom injury just to get him off the roster. Sanchez has been even worse for the Rockies than he was for the Royals, putting up a 9.53 ERA over three starts.

Good trade

Should I now pray for the Royals to get blown out in his next starts?

I've been hoping for Frenchy to go down with an ankle sprain.

Nothing serious. Nothing career threatening. Just something that requires a month of rest.

**Shogun** · 08-14-2012, 09:49 PM

if Guthrie can sustain this the rest of his starts. why not sign him to a cheap 1 mil/year if we need back end starters. trade him at the deadline if he keeps it up, paulino/duffy back after the break.

whats our rotation look like anyways? we dont expect odorizzi up to start next year do we?

1. FA
2. FA
3. Chen/Hoch
4. Smith/Mendoza
5. Guthrie?

I dont know. mind-blown.

Great Expectations · 08-14-2012, 09:54 PM

I like Guthrie more than Chen, Hoch, and maybe Mendoza.

These are all the same guy. Mendoza most upside.

I like Guthrie > Sanchez - but that's not really saying much.

Nightfyre · 08-15-2012, 06:29 AM

See, I'm kind of looking at guthrie as replacing chen after this year. We definitely still need two front of the rotation guys. Mendoza, guthrie and smith are a marginal 3, 4, 5 who are outperforming their career averages.

He's currently making 8.2 and is a FA in 2013, I don't think 1 million dollars will get it done. If he becomes consistent through Sept, I wouldn't mind signing him as long as it doesn't compromise a move for a top rotation guy(s) in the offseason.

But who are we kidding, Guthrie will pitch well enough for the rest of the year when nothing matters and the Royals will extend him and that will be our big offseason pitching acquisition.

to DC in 1 , 2 3 or wherever baseball thread should go. No offense meant , but I'm tired of blocking baseball threads. Will I run out of baseball thread blocking bullets? They should go to DC or somewhere else.

Mendoza and Guthrie and probably the best of the bunch you have listed there. Maybe Smith to complete the rotation at 5. We still need 2 top notch starters. It would be nice if Odo can step and be one of those guys and get 1 big name FA.

Maybe something like this?

Harren
Guthrie
Mendoza
Odo
Smith
