That might be a strong possibility with the way he's pitching.

Well, i think it is safe to say that livan wont be around next season... And we have 4 guys that are slated to be there (Webb, RJ, Davis, Owings)
That 5th spot would/should go to one of: Nippert, Edgar, ENrique, or whoever establishes themselves this year... There are a bunch of options, although it would be pretty crazy for scherzer to come that far, that fast. It has been done before however (weaver - laa) |

It was interesting to hear what Max had to say about closing the deal with the Diamondbacks at the last minute, and waiting to hear from the Commissioner's office.
Thanks for the link! |

Nice interview and a good find, TAP! 
OT: It would be good to get a team photo of him posted on the MLB site, seeing how he is on the 40 man roster...

Probably more like trying to look through a pair of 3-D specs from a 1950's movie...
If having different colored eyes is heterochromia, does that mean most of us are homochromic?
Not that there's anything wrong with that...

I had a Max picture

And KC stars article
By JEFF PASSAN, The Kansas City Star
The following article appeared in the March 4th edition of the Kansas City Star
COLUMBIA -- He's one in 500. That's what the doctors say. Max Scherzer has heterochromia. His eyes are different colors. His right eye, the blue one , gleams with energy, like a hungry wolf's. The brown eye is the watchful one , deep and refined like a walnut finish, the perfect color to unnerve someone with a stare.
Really, he's just a genetic anomaly, but the fact that something is askew physically dovetails with everything in Scherzer's life these days. He pitches for the University of Missouri, where the baseball program is usually as interesting as watching a clock tick. He's from the suburbs of St. Louis, a city in which the baseball talent doesn't nearly match the fan hysteria. Nothing about Scherzer's background indicates he could be the first pick in baseball's 2006 amateur draft -- a choice owned by the Royals.
............................................
Mom had blue eyes. Dad had blue eyes. Of course Max would.
"He was born with them," said Jan Scherzer, Max's mother. "Then he was 4 months old. I looked down at my baby, and he had a blue and green eye. Very clearly. I have pictures and everything. I took him to the pediatrician shortly after that, and he said, `They may go back and forth. They may change again this year.' As the year went on, the blue eye got bluer, and the green eye changed to brown.
"And it was amazing. That night, on Johnny Carson, the actress Jane Seymour was on. She had different-colored eyes. It was just such a coincidence. She was talking about all the flak she'd taken growing up. She's a beautiful woman. She did OK. We always made a big deal to Max that he was special, that it wasn't something wrong."
In grade school, when Max drew a cat or dog or giraffe, he always chose dissimilar colors for their eyes. On parent-teacher night, Brad and Jan could immediately tell which drawing hanging on the wall was their son's.
Teasing in middle school gave way onc e Scherzer's reputation as a top athlete grew in high school. As a freshman, he started at quarterback for Parkway Central High near St. Louis. He played varsity basketball, too, but baseball occupied most of his time.
