Except that to the best of our knowledge he was hundreds of miles away (by the main road) in Barad-dūr at the time, so I don't see how he could simply be "sent into the fray."

We also have no knowledge about his skill as a military commander or even as someone to scare the Orcs into submission. He was "more cruel than any Orc," but that's about the extent of it.
