Brewers Designate Wily Peralta For Assignment

By charliewilmoth | July 29, 2017 at 2:47pm CDT

The Brewers have announced that they’ve designated righty Wily Peralta for assignment. The move clears space on their active and 40-man rosters for outfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis, whose contract they’ve selected from Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Peralta had been a longtime member of the Brewers’ rotation, making 120 starts since his MLB debut with the club in 2012. He typically pitched serviceably or downright well, as he did in 2014, when he produced a 3.54 ERA, 7.0 K/9 and 2.8 BB/9 over nearly 200 innings.

This year, however, has been disastrous for Peralta — he has a 7.85 ERA, 8.2 K/9 and 5.0 BB/9 over 57 1/3 frames, with many of those coming in relief. He also only recently returned after missing a month due to a calf issue. He’s making $4.275MM in his second year through the arbitration process as a Super Two player, so it’s highly unlikely he’ll be claimed on waivers.

    Might as well give him a shot in Seattle as they keep letting Gallardo pitch, and are now starting Ramirez.

        So when the cardinals have success with players no one has ever heard of, its called the “cardinal way.” But when Milwaukee does the same thing and wins with players the nation doesn’t recognize, it “won’t last”. And if they do get gray, their rotation would look really good, and would have a lot of team control

    Not at the expense of Brinson. No way does stearns do a deal where he deals away the number 1 prospect. Gray is at best a number 3 starter

          Davies? Anderson and Nelson are probably interchangable as the teams ace, Suter has been great, Garza has actually been better than Davies. Gray would instantly be better than all of them. Ignore his last season that he pitched through nagging injuries.

          I wasn’t disagreeing with you. Davies hasn’t exactly deserved his record. I’m trying to figure out what postseason experience has to do with anything. That’s almost as useless as wins. The A’s went to the playoffs recently, congratulations.

          Davies is terrifying to watch man the only reason he has a solid record is because the Brewers offense bails him out of games when he gives up five runs

          13-15 his ERAs were 2.67, 3.08, 2.73 with ERA+ of 146, 120, 143 and never a Whip over 1.2. He was third in Cy Young voting in 15. Those aren’t #3 numbers. Last year was bad and this year was a slow start largely due to nagging injuries. If he’s healthy he’s a proven ace, it’s the injury history that could be some concern.

          Not sure what stats you are looking at. The ones I look at tell me that he’s a better pitcher than what the Brewers have. He might be a #3 on a few teams, but for more than half of the teams in MLB he would instantly be their best starter.

      A #3 at best? He would be far and away the best starter on the Brewers, under team control for a few more years through what should be part of his prime, and finished third in Cy Young voting two season ago. He’d make any staff better

      At best, Gray is an ace. At worst, Gray is a #3. There fixed it for you.

      But yes, doubt they include Brinson

      But-Burnes, Phillips, Ray, Woodruff and Broxton would get a deal done for Gray

        Ok. Phillips and Ray will not go together. Word is Oakland turned down Ray and Ortiz. That is a sweet package but probably also the most the brewers would pay outside of adding Broxton and maybe a low level lottery ticket.

      They needed someone who can play CF and probably didn’t want Phillips up sitting and using up an option. Would rather see Wren or even Keon back up over Kirk though. We’ve seen this show before and it’s never good. He’s not even hitting well in Colorado Springs where everyone hits.

          The problem isn’t exactly his HR/9 it’s that his WHIP is 1.8. Too many walks and base hits. He has some good ‘stuff’ but he is not a good ‘pitcher’.

    Gray may be a number 2 or 3 starter but not a number 1 starter. And he is not going to get traded to any team that’s gives up their top 2 prospects. Unless that team is desperate for pitching. Yankees, Astros and the Brewers are interested. But I can’t see the Brewers giving up a top prospect for him unless the owner says yes
