Max Potential

Arizona Diamondbacks' General Partner/CEO Jeff Moorad participated in an online chat with fans on MLB.com this week, and mentioned former Tiger Max Scherzer a couple of times. Sounds like Moorad has a very definite idea about where Max fits in with the D-Backs' future.

azgamer: Who will be the number five starter for the D-backs?
Moorad: Max Scherzer.

dhtdiver: Back to Scherzer & RJ....Didn't Scherzer's experience last year as a reliever show more promise that as a starter?
Moorad: I believe his best, long-term value is as a starting pitcher.

Thanks to a fellow fan for pointing me to that chat.
