he is a bit erratic. Amazing stuff though.. i can't believe he throws as hard as he does for being such a small guy.

After spending nearly five years pitching for the White Sox in the AL Central, Jake Peavy is, for better or worse, quite familiar with Kansas City’s hitters. In 14 career starts against the Royals, the 32-year-old right-hander has pitched to a 4.97 ERA and allowed 10 home runs in 83.1 innings.
As for specific hitters (via ESPN):
Billy Butler: .424, 3 HR, 2B, 8 RBI, 3 BB, 7 K
Alcides Escobar: .409, 2 HR, 3B, 8 RBI, 2 K
Alex Gordon: .357, HR, 2 2B, 5 RBI, BB, 8 K
On top of that, Peavy never has pitched well at Kauffman Stadium, with a 1-5 record, 6.42 ERA, eight home runs allowed and .898 opponents’ OPS in 40.2 career innings (seven starts).
