I wonder what the rationale was in moving him to the rotation. Perhaps they just wanted to get him more innings, and the success is nominal. He's pitched six innings just once and his stat line is buoyed by a single 9 strikeout no walk 5 inning performance. Still, getting anything other than a headache cure for DY is a win.

I'm not sure how this can be successful. Their four man rotation consists of: Jeff Francis, Christian Friedrich, Alex White, and Josh Outman. More than that it devalues Gutherie, who they might be able to trade for some a shot in the dark if he ever put together a string of starts. The Rockies are throwing spitballs against the wall and calling it baseball.
