Jeremy Guthrie was worth 2.0 bWAR after coming over from Colorado last year. 1.6 fWAR.

On that alone, it was a hugely successful trade.

Fangraphs and Baseball Reference disagree about his value this year. bWAR has him slightly above average.

Even with the negative value Fangraphs assigns Guthrie, he is the 88th best SP in major league baseball according to their rankings. With 30 teams in major league baseball, that makes him basically an average No. 3 starter. That's not great, but it also isn't terrible.
