The Colorado Rockies acquired the innings-eating veteran starter they have been searching for all offseason. In a trade yesterday, the Rockies got Jeremy Guthrie from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for starting pitcher Jason Hammel and reliever Matt Lindstrom. Guthrie has pitched over 200 innings in each of the last three seasons. The 32 year-old right-hander went 9-17 with a 4.33 ERA for the Orioles last season. Hammel was a part of the Rockies starting rotation for the last three seasons, but lost his starting spot for the final weeks in 2011. Lindstrom went 2-2 with 2 saves in 63 games in his lone season in Colorado. Guthrie agreed to avoid arbitration with the Rockies and signed to a one-year contract worth 8.2 million. He is likely to be the Rockies starting pitcher on Opening Day.
