Max Scherzer has been working this winter on re-implementing his two-seam fastball into his arsenal.
Scherzer abandoned the pitch shortly after college and has used a three-pitch repertoire in the majors, a four-seam fastball, a slider and a changeup. "I knew I needed to dedicate a whole offseason and just throw it every single day," Scherzer said. "If I can hit you in the chest, I'm getting a feel for it." Scherzer, who was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter, went 15-9 with a 4.43 ERA and 174/56 K/BB ratio over 195 innings last season. His main goal for this upcoming season is good news for fantasy owners; Scherzer wants to increase his strikeout total. If he's successful, and can approach a strikeout an inning, he'll have no problem justifying our opinion that he is one of fantasy's biggest sleepers heading into 2012.

The Tigers and RHP Max Scherzer avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract.
The deal is worth $3.75 million. Scherzer, who was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter, went 15-9 with a 4.43 ERA and 174/56 K/BB ratio over 195 innings last season for the American League Central champion Tigers.

Detroit Tigers on Twitter
Max Scherzer has allowed four earned runs for a 2.70 ERA this postseason while limiting batters to a .200 batting average.
Scherzer has been one of Detroit's most consistent pitchers, averaging six innings per start with a 13/5 K/BB ratio. If he can give Detroit that type of production again, it should set up the bullpen combo of Joaquin Benoit and Jose Valverde, which would put the Tigers in a good position to force a Game 7. In his only other ALCS outing, Scherzer allowed three runs over six innings, including a string of five consecutive scoreless innings.

Max Scherzer allowed three runs and six hits (one walk) over six innings in the Tigers 4-3 ALCS loss to the Rangers.
He stuck out six. After giving up a leadoff double to Nelson Cruz in the second inning Scherzer would settle down and retire twelve in a row. The 27-year old right hander has been a bright spot for the Tigers this postseason, allowing four runs on 13 1/3 innings with a 13/5 K/BB ratio.

Victor Martinez
Sidelined
Victor Martinez underwent microfracture surgery Friday on his left knee.
V-Mart also needs ACL reconstructive surgery, and won't undergo that for another 6-8 weeks. He has been ruled out for the 2012 season and might not be ready to begin his long road of rehab until the middle or end of this summer -- which could also affect his readiness for 2013. He batted .330/.380/.470 with 12 home runs and 103 RBI in 145 games last season for the Tigers.

Al Alburquerque
Sidelined
Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com reports that Al Alburquerque has undergone surgery to have a screw inserted into his pitching elbow to repair a non-displaced stress fracture.
He's expected to start throwing towards the end of spring training but won't be ready to pitch for the Tigers until around the All-Star break. Alburquerque spent time on the disabled list this past season with inflammation in his elbow but was brilliant after returning, not giving up a run in 15 second-half appearances. It's a significant blow to the back end of the Tigers bullpen and might have played a part in their signing of Octavio Dotel.
