Weekly Pickup - Max Scherzer

Picked him up in my league yesterday off waivers and there are only two things you need to know. He’s a highly touted prospect that strikes out batters more often than Eddy Curry eats McDonalds, and in his only major league action he pitched 4 innings in relief…recording 7 strikeouts.

Johnny Cueto was the early season hyped pitcher, but he’s fizzled out and shown his true form. Think of Scherzer as the Liriano of 2 years ago. Pick him up in all formats because his first start is Monday.
