One point I haven't seen mentioned anywhere is whether it makes sense to move Scherzer to the bullpen while Lucas is dealing. This is more than an overreaction to 2 good starts, it's reacting to Scherzer's inability to exceed 40 pitches before his thumb issue flares up.
The way Schneider likes to use the bullpen, giving him another high leverage option there could help the team more than letting him breakdown at his current age. Question is, can Scherzer's ego handle the move to become the next John Smoltz?
