Peters won the Rookie of the Year in 1963 despite that being the fifth season he appeared in the Majors, though he pitched in just 12 games previously. That year, he went 19-8 and led the league with a 2.33 ERA. He was an All Star in 1964 when he won 20 games to lead the league. He had a league-leading 1.98 ERA in 1966, then was an All Star again in 1967. With the White Sox, Peters was 91-78 with a 2.92 ERA.
After the 1969 season, Peters was traded to the Red Sox along with Don Pavletich for Syd O'Brien and a couple of minor leaguers. Peters had a little bit left in the tank, winning 16 and then 14 games the next two seasons. In three years with Boston, he went 33-25 with a 4.23 ERA, striking out 322 while walking 191 in 521 innings pitched.
