Peralta is a good number 2.
4th in K/9, 49th BB/9, 50th HR/9, 51st ERA, 37th xERA, 28th in FIP, 28th fWAR, 25th WHIP, 8th SIERA, 14th Hard%.
Not an ace or 1B type, but a good guy you can rely on most of the times. Even when he stuggles he gives his team a chance to win,
In 12 starts (today included) he has given up more than 3 ER twice. Averages 5 2/3 IP per game. He is a great pitcher. at least top 40 in the league. Considering there are roughly 150 starting pitchers in the big leagues, that is really good.
We were spoilt with Burnes and Woody as 1A and 1B and Freddy is not them, but lets not undervalue him
