The Royals will be paying him more than $8 million a year to be a mediocre part of their rotation for another two years yet.","date":"Thu Sep 26"},"fullName":"Jeremy Guthrie","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"After escaping Colorado and arriving in Kansas City in a deal for Jonathan Sanchez, Guthrie struggled to end July. But in August and September, Guthrie started 12 games, going 5-1 with a 2.34 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. Take out a debacle versus Boston and those drop to 1.73 and .97. A tweak in Guthrie's mechanics added a little more than 1 mph to his fastball, though a .257 BABIP during the streak certainly helped. The Royals signed the would-be free agent to a three-year deal, hoping for more of the same. However, despite the added velocity, Guthrie's strikeout rate is still low. He's a viable start at home, but a risk away.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":0.2,"playerRater15DAY":0.9,"positionRank":95}
