Max Scherzer was traded to the Tigers by the Diamondbacks courtesy of the Yankees. The Bombers gave up a lot to get Curtis Granderson. This is from Max Scherzer's B-R page:
Good for Detroit--they got two good pitchers out of the deal and a replacement centerfielder who had a higher OPS (130>118) than Granderson this season. Arizona built their 2011 NL West title on Ian Kennedy's back. New York can spend freely, both talent and dollars, as well as stay in first place every year. Yet they miss the last dance. Giants titles since 2002? One. Yankees? One. Just sayin'. Money is nice but it ain't all of it. The Giants have the new-old "Moneyball" thing going on, finding both pitching (Ryan Vogelsong) and (Gregor Blanco) fielding off the ML scrap heap, and both turn out to be good ballplayers, not just specialists. Vogie was a legit All-Star is now the October ace. Blanco is the best player (other than Pablo?) in the Series. How many teams will turn their focus to faster, rangier players in the outfield and smarter, slicker glove men in the infield? The Giants are cutting edge, man. Just watch how many times balls are hit right at fielders. That's scouting, good data, charts, pitching plans, player positioning, etc. Giants are all over that. Old-school defense is the new wave.Traded as part of a 3-team trade by the Arizona Diamondbacks with Daniel Schlereth to the Detroit Tigers. The Detroit Tigers sent Curtis Granderson to the New York Yankees. The Detroit Tigers sent Edwin Jackson to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The New York Yankees sent Phil Coke and Austin Jackson to the Detroit Tigers. The New York Yankees sent Ian Kennedy to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Giants have faced Scherzer before, three times in 2009 and once last season: 4 starts, 19-1/3 IP, 17 H, 14 R, 3 HR, 10 BB, and 20 K.
Should be a great matchup with Matt Cain! Go, Matty! Get it done!
GO GIANTS!
WIN!

It looks like the Tigers came out way, way ahead on this.
