SAN DIEGO -- Max Scherzer was preparing to head out to the seats to chart Triple-A Tucson's game Saturday in preparation for his start the following night when he heard that he was headed instead to the big leagues. "It definitely caught me by surprise," said Scherzer, who caught an early flight and arrived in San Diego at 8:30 a.m. Sunday. After watching Yusmeiro Petit throw 2 1/3 innings ... [link]

Dbacks Weekly - April 27, 2008 - Familiar Patterns
Published 4/28/2008 by snakecharmer at AZ Snakepit: Front Page Posts
... until after the game today, I am happy to report that after the loss yesterday came a WIN today! (Following that pattern again?) Webb and Peavy both looked spectacular, with Peavy really only making one mistake on the home run to Chris Snyder, but Webb's changeup and sinker were totally working today and got him out of several bases-loaded jams. Webb allowed one unearned run to Peavy's two earned, and Webb goes to 6-0! Notes The biggest news of today is top prospect Max Scherzer's promotion. As noted in Nick Piecoro's blog, he is up to go into ...

Closing Time: Max Scherzer is up. Now what?
Published 4/28/2008 at Roto Arcade
In the seventh inning of today's White Sox-Orioles game, Chicago had the bases loaded, nobody out, and AJ Pierzynski at the plate. Broadcaster Hawk Harrelson made the following comment: "You've got to be aggressive, yet selective." As it turned out, selectivity without any aggression whatsoever would have been the better course. Pierzynski struck out by swinging at non-strikes. So if you ever find yourself facing Greg Aquino with runners on, just be patient. If, however, you find yourself with top waiver priority in a fantasy league, then you'll want to be both aggressive and selective. In those circumstances, ...

Diamondbacks Call Up Max Scherzer

Posted 4/28/2008 on Fantasy Baseball Blog at Razzball

Well, you gotta deal with Y!’s crappy waiver wire again, rather than just being able to pick Max Scherzer up. For the uninitiated, he’s a flamethrower with a Nazi sounding name who was called up by the Diamondbacks. In Triple-A, he sported a 1.17 ERA and a 38/3 K/BB ratio. That’s good, ya’ll. I’d drop just about any fifth starter or second tier middle reliever ...
Cue the Hype Machine! Scherzer Called Up

Posted 4/28/2008 on FanHouse

I love the Hype Machine. It makes me check MiLB for strikeout numbers. It makes do stupid smart things like drop Andruw Jones for prospects. And it makes me giddy when (arguably) the top pitching prospect in all of the minor leagues gets called up. That's right. Max Scherzer is headed to Phoenix to join the Diamondbacks. But, before the Machinations of Hype make you do anything really silly, ...

Yup, the Diamondbacks’ called up their top pitching prospect today and have him on the lineup card as being in the bullpen. Yusmeiro Petit was apparently the one optioned to Triple-A Tucson. He wasn’t on the lineup card................... Not sure I ...
Max Scherzer gets the call

Posted 4/27/2008 on Out in the Desert

According to Nick Piecoro, Max Scherzer has been called up to the Diamondbacks , and sooner than many of us expected, I think. Scherzer’s put up some great numbers in Tucson, with a 1.17 ERA and a ridiculous 38 Ks and 3 walks in 23 innings. He’ll be in the bullpen, but if the injury that led to Micah Owings leaving the game last night turns out to be more serious, we might see him ...

Diamondbacks To Call Up Scherzer

Posted 4/27/2008 on MLB Rumors

Diamondbacks top prospect Max Scherzer is no longer in Triple-A. According to Nick Piecoro, the Diamondbacks have optioned Yusmeiro Petit and called up the hard throwing Max Scherzer. He had a 1.17 ERA in four starts, striking out 38 and walking three in 23 innings. Scherzer appears casted as a closer for the Diamondbacks, but if Micah Owings cannot pitch Friday, they will use him. The ...
