In Year 2 with Nationals, Scherzer feels like mentor, geezer (Yahoo Sports)

Max Scherzer sees himself as something of a mentor as he heads into his second season with the Washington Nationals. At 31, you feel pretty old in that clubhouse when you've got 23-year-olds in there that barely even know the O.J. trial even happened,'' Scherzer said Friday with a hearty chuckle. Scherzer will be the starter on opening day for the Nationals when they play at the Atlanta Braves on Monday.
