I am curious to what is the reasoning behind these ratings as they seem almost identical to last years.

Looking into Archer.
As for Kiermaier, he had a great year. But 2* is a pretty decent compliment in the roster set, it's generally a solid starter, which is almost exactly what Kiermaier is. A solid starter.
He doesn't really have the pedigree or track record to suggest that he's any more than a solid regular or possibly even a 4th OF who simply had a career year.
If he keeps last year's level or performance up, then PECOTA will surely be more optimistic in the future. But PECOTA's not going to overrate a guy based on one good year that appears to be a bit fluky and neither are we.
