Yea, I am hanging onto him even though we have a limited bench. Like the other posters suggested, I think he will be back in the rotation by July. Don't know what will happen first to the existing D-Back rotation, injuries or ineffectiveness.

Well, it sucks if you're an owner. But.. it may be good news. The way Arizona has been burning up relief pitching, it could be a sign that they want Max stretched out and ready to join the rotation.

I see him recalled and starting soon.

I dropped him today in shallow leagues, but kept him in deeper ones.

This morning he's showing NA, and says hes been optioned to AAA, what's up with that?

"The D-Backs will gradually stretch out Scherzer in Tucson before placing him back in the starting rotation, general manager Josh Byrnes said."

I saw that story also and took it to mean the Tucson starting rotation, not the D-back's.

I agree with your interpretation but we'll soon find out when he starts pitching next week.

Max is being stretched out to go back into the Tucson starting rotation. However, there is still a chance he's back in the majors within a month or so. Besides Webb and Haren the Diamondbacks rotation has looked decidedly shaky over the past 2 weeks.
