With the recent injury of starter Jaret Wright, who might be out for the season now, Jeremy Guthrie has a chance to break into the Orioles' starting rotation. Sources indicate that he and Brian Burres are the top two candidates for the job.
After Jeremy's strong start in Wright's place a couple weeks ago, he is building credibility for a spot in the rotation. Here is a clip from an MLB.com interview with Orioles' pitching coach Leo Mazzone:

MLB.com: Where do you see Jeremy Guthrie, long-term? Is he a late reliever?
Mazzone: I think he's a starter, down the road. He's got an above-average fastball, and the breaking ball and offspeed stuff are good enough. The key in his spot start was his location and the command of his fastball. He was really popping it.
