In the annals of D-Backs history, it’s unlikely that Jace Peterson will play a large part. It’s far more likely that he provides a good Immaculate Grid answer as he’s played for seven teams (Atlanta, Milwaukee, Baltimore, Arizona, San Diego, New York Yankees, and Oakland) across 10 seasons. Through most of that time, Peterson has been a serviceable major leaguer that has failed to particularly distinguish himself besides stuffing a transaction sheet. It’s also a far cry from the potential the Padres saw in the McNeese State University product back in 2011. In hindsight, one of the most unfair lenses available to baseball writers, several teams would have been better served picking up the unheralded high schooler Blake Snell just six picks earlier.
