"“I do hope I’m back. I love this clubhouse, love the players in here. I’ve gone to battle with these guys for five years.” It’s hard to even think about that right now when you have a loss like this, whenever you get bounced out of the postseason, it always stinks, so the picture will adjust as the offseason progresses.”"

Scherzer, who is now 30-years-old, was 18-5 with a 3.15 ERA in 2014. It was a solid follow-up to his 2013 campaign when he was 21-3 with a 2.90 ERA and was the Cy Young winner.
My gut tells me that Scherzer will be a St. Louis Cardinal in 2015. Of course, I’ve been wrong before!
