Brewers fans certainly are likely to remember the early season struggles of the team’s starting rotation in 2019, largely due to a heavy reliance on unproven, young pitchers. Partly due to that, GM David Stearns acquired a number of pitchers during this off season in an attempt to avoid a similar situation this upcoming season.
One of the pitchers who struggled in the rotation early last season was Freddy Peralta. A trip to Triple-A San Antonio and a move to the bullpen greatly turned around his year, so many have speculated a similar role for him moving forward.
