HOORAY Max (sheesh…the Tigers were minus some good pitching this year…Scherzer, Porcello, Price, Verlander (injured). I think they finished with worst E.R.A. in the American League. It’s no wonder they’ll finish in last place (from first to worst in the division.
CONGRATULATIONS Scherzer
There was no way Detroit would meet Scherzer’s pay demands, he turned down money that would work out to 800K per start ($24 million / year, and he’s been averaging an excellent 30 starts), maybe he wanted to play for the Skankies, not sure. Arm like that (with a statistics minor in college to go with it), I don’t blame him.
The injury is only part of the story for Verlander. He hasn’t been the same since he started dating Kate Upton.
