D-Backs recall Max Scherzer, option Petit to AAA
Published 4/27/2008 by David Golebiewski at The Transaction Guy
The Arizona Diamondbacks recalled righthander Max Scherzer from Triple-A Tucson. Scherzer, 23, was selected out of Missouri with the 11th overall pick in the 2006 amateur draft. Scherzer, who pitched for the independent Fort Worth Cats while holding out for a larger bonus, nearly re-entered the 2007 draft. However, the Diamondbacks eventually opened up the wallet, giving Scherzer $4.3M in guaranteed money with $1.5M in incentives available. In 23 innings for Triple-A Tucson, Scherzer posted a 1.17 ERA while compiling an eye-popping 38/3 K/BB ratio.
To make room for Scherzer, the Diamondbacks optioned righthander Yusmeiro Petit to Tucson. ...

-- Max Scherzer is apparently getting the start next Monday, in favor of Edgar Gonzalez. This just keeps getting worse and worse for attentive Yahoo owners. Perhaps the only reason that people wouldn't use a high waiver pick on Scherzer was the fear that he'd be used as a middle reliever for the indefinite future. Now? He's probably going with the number one waiver pick in 90+% of leagues. -- ...Max Scherzer Bio

Max Scherzer was absolutely dominant in his Diamondback debut Tuesday night. Throwing 98 mph heat, Scherzer struck out seven of the thirteen batters he faced to set a franchise record for strikeouts in a major league debut. The other six batters didn't reach base either as he was perfect in 4.1 innings.
