Sad Weaver’s career is ending this way with such a drastic drop off. You do have to go back to 2012 to find Weaver’s last truly good season with a sub 3 ERA and leading the league is WHIP. All good things come to an end I suppose. I think if the Angels or Dodgers have zero interest in signing him he will retire before the start of the 2017 season. .

I agree it’s been sad to see Weaver’s decline, and especially so this season. However, I do disagree that 2012 was his last “good” season (it was a heck of a lot better than good), as he had a 1.20 WHIP, 18-9 record, and 3.59 ERA in 213 innings in 2014. It will be interesting to see if he wants to play somewhere on a smaller $ one-year deal, whether it’s in Anaheim or elsewhere.

You might want to take a peak again. 2014 was the beginning of the end for Weaver. His peripherals showed he was getting by on luck. His homer total jumped, his FIP was over 4.00, his WHIP, HR/9, Runs, walks, and BB/9 were the highest it had been in five years. and his ERA+ painted him as league average.

I seem to remember his Weaver’s older brother having a similar rapid decline, at an even younger age.

Shapiro and Atkins are just firing the entire front office staff and are just gonna bring in their buddies from Cleveland. The Jays have been one of the best teams at drafting and developing players they just usually trade them away

Really? Whom did the Blue Jays developed ? Sanchez and Osuna are the only standouts and they’re not exactly well established yet. Pillar and Stroman look like good complimentary pieces, but who else? Their MLB scouting has been very good, but amateur scouting isn’t exactly tops in the league.

Keep Weaver in Anaheim..have him come out the bullpen..

Might see an uptick in his velo – to 85.

My guess is Weaver is signed to a one year contract with the Angels for a few million that’s incentive laden.

The issue is that now days at MLB level… It is hard to be competitive with a FB that tops 82-85 MPH… Good hitters will wait until the second time around the lineup, time it right and from that moment on is pretty much batting practice … Weaver had a great run and I wouldn’t be surprised if he decides to hang it up…
