5 years agoHouston Astros right-handed pitcher Brad Peacock (shoulder) is making progress and is confident he'll be ready by Opening Day. Peacock has battled neck and shoulder issues in the early portions of spring training which seem to have eliminated him from contending for the fifth spot in the rotation right out of the gate. But Peacock is a valuable piece to the pitching staff and has the ability to produce from the bullpen or as a starter. Peacock has appeared in 118 games over the past three seasons and 37 of those have been as a starter. Peacock went 5-6 last season with a 1.18 WHIP, a 4.24 ERA and 82 strikeouts in 80 2/3 innings pitched as a starter. The only way he contributes on a fantasy roster this season will be if he is re-inserted into the starting rotation.--Joey C - RotoBaller
