Royals acquired RHP Jeremy Guthrie from the Rockies for LHP Jonathan Sanchez. A flyball machine, Guthrie was always a poor fit in Colorado, and he ends his stint there with a 6.35 ERA and 1.69 WHIP over 19 games -- 15 starts. He's posted a 3.67 ERA in eight starts and two relief appearances on the road, though, and is actually a decent rebound candidate with the Royals. He'll presumably slide into their rotation.
