D-Backs, Scherzer come to terms

[coyoteshockeyfan]

So how much more money did he actually get to waste a year of his career?

Due to his arm issues after the draft he wasn't going to pitch much (at all?) last season so he didn't exactly waste a year. I absolutely love seeing Scott Boras give in and not get what he wants though.

What was he looking for? Just curious, since I didn't follow the negotiations.

Glad we got him though.

Rumor was about $6M, which is really high for where Scherzer was drafted.

Sweet. We own you, Boras.

Well I just read that Scherzer can earn up to 5.8 mil on this contract, but I guess a lot of it is from incentives?

Good to hear that he's gonna be in camp.

Closer of the future perhaps?

Yes it was written this morning that indeed this guy is projected for the bullpen. The guy wastes a year's pay. You really got to wonder just what are they teaching our kids these days.

Byrnes says he will be a starter but you can't count him out as a closer.

While many in the industry envision Scherzer as a late-innings reliever, the Diamondbacks will give him an opportunity to be a starter.

With three pitchers from last year's draft already in the majors, the Diamondbacks believe Scherzer also could be a quick-to-the-majors pitcher.

They showed during the Dbacks v Mets game that he has one dark brown eye and one light blue eye, he looks like a demon!
