Here's what the front office analysis seems the most plausible to me with absolutely no insider information: Peralta: Has potential, but unlikely to develop any more in the minors. Needs to face major league lineup multiple times per appearance. Woodruff: Low ceiling, topping out as an innings eater or organizational depth. Burnes: His usage is the most puzzling, ir seems like they want to protect him a bit and the only reason he's up in the bigs is because the team is contending. Woodruff has been bounced back and forth over two seasons, while Freddy has been given a game every 5 days. And after tonight's stinker, their stats are going to look pretty dang similar. I will admit I find it really weird how they have handled their top SP prospects this year. Peralta gets an extended shot in the rotation, Burnes can only pitch in the bullpen, and Woodruff gets shuttled back and forth between AAA and the MLB, and between the bullpen/rotation with no real, extended chance. What makes it even more of a head scratcher is that Peralta is probably the least polished of all of them, and has more of bullpen makeup than the other two given his history of control issues.
