Scherzer

Max Scherzer of the Diamondbacks was put into the bullpen after Doug Davis returned from Thyroid Cancer. The hard throwing right hander, who was picked up on waivers, is a guy you still want on your team. His ability to throw heat and strike people out is comparable to J. Broxton of the Dodgers. Max will lower your ERA, WHIP, and increase your K's. Working out of the bullpen might actually increase his K numbers considerably. When he comes out of the bullpen he can focus on just throwing heat over an inning or two but as a start he must keep batters off balance over 5-7 innings.

In conclusion, if Scherzer is out there on the wire go grab him, he deserves a spot on all rosters. In a given week, Max can throw 4-6 innings in relief with 12-15 K's, is that something you'd be interested in? *Entourage line.
