Brad Peacock To Be Fifth Starter
6 years agoHouston Astros manager A.J. Hinch confirmed on Friday that Brad Peacock will serve as the team's No. 5 starter to open the season. The 31-year-old right-hander started only one game last year after making 21 starts in 2017. He went 3-5 with a 3.46 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 96 K's and 20 walks in his 65 innings in 2018. Peacock developed a changeup this year which could make him more effective. It's unclear how many innings he'll approach as a starter again this season, but Peacock will be sneaky rotation depth in deep mixed and AL-only leagues.
