MAX SCHERZER RUMORS & GOSSIP

Max Scherzer, 2012 Fantasy Sleeper

Max Scherzer has been almost exactly the same pitcher the last three years.  He pitches around a 3.75 xFIP then fights Nazis in the offseason.  (He sure is limber for being thousands of years old, made of mud and having two different color eyes!)  I say almost because his strikeout rate fell a tad in 2011, but nothing that I’m worried about.  His velocity was fully populated...

Player Profile #143: Max Scherzer | SP | DET

When you think of Max Scherzer you think of walks and strikeouts. Well, the good news is that his walks have decreased each of the last three seasons. The bad news: so have the strikeouts.

2011 TigsTown Player Capsule: Max Scherzer

Some were pointing at 2011 as a big year for Max Scherzer, hoping that the then 26-year old would take the next step forward in his development. While Scherzer set a career high in wins, his ERA jumped into the mid-4's and came well short on those expectations of taking a leap forward.

Max Scherzer: Five Key for Success

Right out of the gate of the 2011 MLB season, Max Scherzer came out looking to pick-up where he left off in 2010. Out pitching Justin Verlander in the second-half of the 2010 season and showing he had all the makings of a dominate number two.

Max Scherzer Player Projection No. 116

Key Stats: Max Scherzer is ranked higher here than anywhere else, but in terms of starting pitchers I only rank him 35th, so it's not too different from Tristan Cockcroft. Scherzer took a step back in the numbers from 2010, but was better than some of those numbers would indicate. His xFIP was lower than his FIP by almost 0.70 runs and his K:BB was up about 0.5 versus the 2010...

Detroit Tigers: the week that was

The Detroit Tigers are getting a little predictable. Sweep. Sweep. Sweep. Thanks to the two broomings this week by the Tigers, the State of Michigan turned in about as perfect a sports week as one could ask for. On top of the Tigers’ brilliance, Michigan, Michigan State, and the Lions all won as well. For the first time since 1984, the Tigers have won 9 games in a row. It’s been...
