If true for Lindstrom and Hammel. Seems fair to both teams and the salaries should be a wash or close to it after Guthries arbitration hearing.

I had a feeling the O's would be desperate to move him based on what he is about to get in arbitration.After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

Via Tweet from Buster...interesting.
In the end, Guthrie will make less ($8.2 million) than Hammel and Lindstrom combined (about $8.5m). So the O's aren't saving $ with this.
Closer?
Duquette says he's encouraged by Lindstrom's capability to convert on saves.

Hammel's road numbers the last three years (while with Colorado) were actually pretty decent. His 2010 road ERA was horrible, but given the other numbers it looks like a little luck could have switched that around significantly (and his manager left him to die in one game @ATL - 7 ER in 1.2 IP)
Now I'm not saying Hammel will be good in Baltimore - I know nothing about him. But I wouldn't be surprised if his road numbers were a factor for Baltimore.people called me an idiot for burning popcorn in the microwave, but i know the real truth. - nullnor

“I like a power arm at the end of the game, and we have a couple for Buck (Showalter) in Jim Johnson and Matt Lindstrom," executive VP Jim Duquette said. "I like the manager having that strength in the bullpen, so if we have a lead we can lock down the lead late in the game. I am encouraged by adding Matt Lindstrom because of his capabilities to convert on saves. He has the experience as both a closing pitcher, getting the last three outs, and also as a setup man pitching the seventh and eighth inning and I just think that strengthens our ballclub."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
