Really?

Code:
	K/9	BB/9	HR/9	GB/FB	Contact	SwStr	ERA	FIP	xFIP
Guthrie	5.5	2.5	1.2	0.97	85.5%	6.4%	4.12	4.65	4.58
LeCure  7.4	3.6	1.2	1.23	84.2%	6.4%	3.95	4.64	4.14
There is admittedly a pretty small sample size with LeCure, but do the Reds really need to go out and get a guy who doesn't miss bats and is homer prone? Guthrie is a decent starter. But the only thing that makes him better than the Reds suite of options is health.
