Player Notes

July 3, 2009
Max Scherzer allowed five runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk over six innings on Friday. He struck out five, but took the loss as the Diamondbacks fell to the Rockies 5-0.

Our View:Scherzer is having a fine 2009 campagn, despite his 5-6 record. He has had quality starts in four of his last five outings, but has gotten very little run support.

June 28, 2009
Max Scherzer struggled a bit on Sunday as his team fell to the Angels 12-8 in interleague play. Scherzer went 4.1 innings and allowed eight runs (three earned) on four hits while walking three and striking out two.

Our View:The four errors by his defense sure didn't help, but Scherzer wasn't great on the hill today. He has been good for the most part this season, so his fantasy value is not hurt by the game today. He is still a must-play in all leagues, especially considering his 3.67 ERA.

June 23, 2009
Max Scherzer won his third straight start on Tuesday, striking out seven in six innings while allowing two earned runs as the Diamondbacks beat the Rangers 8-2.

Our View:Scherezer has finally developed some consistency and is turing into one of the better starters in the National League. He is a candidate to buy low by selling someone high as well.

June 17, 2009
Max Scherzer scattered nine hits and three walks in six innings while allowing only two runners to score, and the Diamondbacks defeated the Royals 12-5 on Wednesday night. Scherzer struck out five while improving to 4-4 on the season.

Our View:Scherzer certainly pitched his way out of some jams as he posted a 2.00 WHIP for the game, but just a 3.00 ERA. The two runs were the only two runs he has allowed in his last three starts and he really looks like he is beginning to understand how to pitch at the pro level. The 24-year-old has 74 strikeouts in 73 innings of work.

June 11, 2009
Max Scherzer had perhaps the best start of his young career on Thursday. He earned the win by going 7.2 innings, giving up no runs, allowing only three hits and striking out six in the Diamondbacks 2-1 victory over the Giants.

Our View:Scherzer appears to be slowly moving past the inconsistency that has dogged his short career to this point. He still often walks too many batters, but is proving more adept at pitching deeper into games and earning himself and his team victories. He is certainly worth a roster spot at this point.
