Gabriel Moreno

Arizona is going with Jose Herrera as starter Gabriel Moreno's caddy to open the regular season. Pinto was claimed off waivers back in January from the Orioles. He should be able to latch on somewhere else as extra organizational catching depth.

Yikes. On the plus side, at least Peralta struck out five batters in the abysmal performance. He gave up four runs in the opening inning on a pair of two-run homers from Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Gabriel Moreno. He then settled in and put up zeroes for two innings before the D'Backs hung another four on him in the fourth. They tacked on another pair in the fifth before he mercifully called it a night. This start obviously skews his entire spring numbers as he finishes with an 8.56 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and a 16/5 K/BB ratio over his 13 2/3 innings. He remains a strong source of strikeouts for fantasy purposes as a fringe top 30 starting pitcher.

Moreno's hits both left the bat at 108 mph. He's a little underrated as a late-round option in the catcher spot in mixed leagues. He definitely doesn't offer as much power potential as some, but he's a .280 hitter through 233 big-league games and he's hitting in one of the game's most productive lineups, giving him extra run and RBI potential.
