October 5, 2008 Jered Weaver worked the final two innings in relief on Sunday night to lead the Angels to a 5-4, 12 inning victory over the Red Sox to force a Game 4. Our View:Weaver looked strong in the unfamiliar role of working out of the pen, and after a 5:19 minute game, the longest in ALDS history, the two teams will do it all over against less than 20 hours from this posting. |
|
September 27, 2008 The L.A. Times reports that Jered Weaver will make his final start before the postseason on Saturday, pitching against minor leaguers in an Arizona Instructional League game in Tempe in what manager Mike Scioscia called "a maintenance workout." Our View:Sciossia will use Weaver out of the bullpen in the first round of the playoffs, making an already lights out pen even better. |
|
September 11, 2008 Jered Weaver will move up in the rotation and start tonight in place of John Lackey. However, Weaver doesn't figure to be sharp after missing more than a week to a finger injury. Our View:The right-hander is 5-2 against Seattle, but that comes with an inflated 5.17 ERA in nine starts. Weaver is 1-1 with a 6.94 ERA in two outings this season against the M's. |
|
September 10, 2008 Jered Weaver will start on Thursday for the Angels after being out of action since August 30th because of cuts to his pitching hand, according to the Orange County Register. “I’ll probably just rub some stuff on it before the game to roughen it up,” Weaver said. Our View:Weaver injured his hand on a dugout bench causing him to miss about two weeks. He will face the Mariners on Thursday, and given the utter lack of interest from the club from Seattle, Weaver is a fair bet to have some success in that outing. |
|
September 8, 2008 Jered Weaver's hand still hasn't healed enough for him to pitch, so Ervin Santana has been moved up to start Tuesday against the Yankees, according to the Orange County Register. Our View:He was previously pushed back from Friday to Tuesday because of cuts on the middle and ring fingers of his pitching hand. Weaver should be returning shortly, we'll let you know when he does. |
|
September 8, 2008 Jered Weaver threw a bullpen session Sunday and is on target to make his scheduled start on Tuesday, according to the LA Times. His start on Friday was pushed back because of cuts on the middle and ring fingers of his pitching hand. Our View:Weaver is only 10-10 but holds a favorable 1.28 WHIP and should be considered for AL-only leagues for his next start. |
|
September 4, 2008 Angels hurler Jered Weaver will see his next start pushed back from Friday to Monday after cutting two fingers on his right hand while pushing himself up and off the bench in Detroit, according to the L.A. Times. "I went to push to get up and gripped where the staples in the upholstery come together, and it just got me," said Weaver. Our View:Yet another odd injury suffered by a baseball player. In part because of the long season, these things tend to happen, but this is the first upholstery-related injury we can remember. Weaver has been good enough to get a look in fantasy, but likely in AL-only leagues, as his record is 10-10 and ERA is 4.42. |
|
August 25, 2008 Jered Weaver picked up his tenth loss of the year but probably deserved better. In the Angels 2-1 loss to the A's, Weaver went seven innings, allowed just two earned runs and struck out eight. Our View:After a tough start in August, this is Weaver's third good appearance in a row. His good control and strikeout total make his relatively high ERA (4.39) a bit easier to digest for fantasy owners. |
|
August 25, 2008 Jered Weaver has struggled this season with lineups that have gap hitters. However, the Angels right-hander is in line to pitch one of his better games against the A's tonight. Weaver (10-9, 4.47 ERA) allowed three runs and five hits in six innings of a 5-4 win at Tampa Bay on Wednesday, another team that is suspect at the plate due to their current injury woes. The right-hander is 2-1 with a 2.76 ERA in five career starts against Oakland. Our View:Oakland's offense is hitting a meager .218 since the break, and the team is slugging at an incredibly low .330. You and I could have intermittent success against the A's current batting order. |
|
August 20, 2008 The Angels and Rays locked it up tonight in an exciting match of baseball wits, but the Angels found a way to win, 5-4, in large part due to the efforts of RHP Jered Weaver. Weaver pitched six innings, surrendering three runs (all earned) on five hits with one walk and nine strikeouts. Our View:Weaver has struggled with a bit of inconsistency over his more recent outings, going 3-1 over his last seven start coming into this evening, giving up 13 earned runs over his last three starts. Tonight showed he could be a force for the Angels down the playoff stretch. |
|
August 9, 2008 Jered Weaver didn't pitch very well over six innings on Friday but he still improved to 10-9 with a victory over the Yankees. Our View:Weaver allowed seven hits, two walks and five runs on the night in what was his second straight poor performance that has caused his ERA to climb from 4.11 to 4.51. |
|
August 2, 2008 Jered Weaver was rocked for six earned runs on eight hits over five innings in Saturday's 8-2 loss to the Yankees in the Bronx, with one walk and five strikeouts. He gave up four home runs in his nightmarish outing. Our View:He drops to 9-9 and his ERA climbs to 4.37. He has looked great at times this season, but has struggled with consistency and remains an unstable fantasy starter. |
|
July 23, 2008 Jered Weaver, forced to leave his start on Tuesday due to a sore shoulder, was feeling much better on Wednesday, according to MLB.com. "Weav is a little sore, but is feeling better than he could have been," manager Mike Scioscia said. "But right now, we're pretty comfortable he'll make his next start." Our View:Good news for Weaver owners who had to be feeling a bit nervous. Look for Weaver to rebound next time out, he is scheduled to face Boston on Monday, though it might be wise to bench him for that one. |
|
July 22, 2008 Angels RHP Jered Weaver has been forced off the mound this evening against the Indians after just three innings because of tightness in the middle of his back and is listed as day-to-day, according to MLB.com. Our View:Weaver allowed two runs on three hits, walking two and hitting another, but struck out four batters. It was also the shortest start of the season for Weaver, who broke a streak of four straight starts in which he pitched at least five innings and allowed two earned runs or fewer. |
|
July 22, 2008 Jered Weaver (8-8, 4.03 ERA) will start Tuesday, July 22, against the Indians, reports MLB.com. Our View:Weaver has given up two earned runs or fewer in his last four starts. Look for him to continue his dominance against Cleveland's lackluster offense. |
|
July 9, 2008 Jered Weaver threw another strong effort to the wind on Wednesday night. The Angels right-hander allowed two runs (one earned) on seven hits, walked two and struck out five. Weaver was one out away from his ninth win of the season before Josh Hamilton hit a two-out walk-off home run off of the best closer in baseball. Our View:Weaver was a tough luck no-hit loser in the last two weeks, and then tonight's rally by the Rangers cost him another chance at victory. Weaver has allowed two or fewer earned runs in four-straight starts, with 23 strikeouts over the span. |
|
July 4, 2008 Jered Weaver was strong in Friday's 8-2 win over Toronto, as he only gave up two earned runs on six hits over 7.1 innings, with one walk and six strikeouts. Our View:He evened his record to 8-8, and lowered his ERA to 4.17. He has allowed two or less earned runs in three-straight starts, with 18 strikeouts over the span. He should remain active in your roto-rotation. |
|
June 28, 2008 The Dodgers and Angels will continue to battle for the west-coast title today with the Angels sending RHP Jered Weaver to the mound, according to the Sports Network. Our View:Weaver comes off a solid outing against Philadelphia, holding the Phillies to just one run on four hits in 5 1/3 innings. In the 3-2 victory, Weaver walked three batters but struck out six. This will be the second outing for Weaver against the cross-town rival Dodgers. Just last month Weaver tossed 5 1/3 innings against Los Angeles, striking out seven batters, while allowing just two runs in the 10-2 win. In his career against the Dodgers, the young hurler has dominated LA, going 3-0 with a stellar 2.08 ERA. |
|
June 22, 2008 Angels RHP Jered Weaver has evened out his record at 7-7, getting the win in short work against Philly, 3-2. Weaver pitched 5 1/3 innings to allow one run on four hits, giving up three walks versus six strikeouts. Our View:Weaver now sits at 3-1 for the month of June and 5-2 over his last seven starts. |
|
June 17, 2008 Jered Weaver allowed six runs in 6.1 ineffective innings against the Mets. Weaver allowed two long balls and eight hits as he struck out five on the night to pick up his seventh loss of the year. Our View:With a 4.73 ERA, Weaver is currently posting a mark a full point above his career mark. Weaver still owns a solid 2.71 K/BB mark, but he has now allowed 12 home runs in 15 starts, and that isn't the tonic for a solid ERA. |
|
June 16, 2008 Jered Weaver will make his 15th start of the season tonight when the Angels host the Mets, according to MLB.com. Weaver is 6-6 this season with a 4.45 ERA and decent 1.31 WHIP. He has never faced the Mets, but is 3-0 with a 3.10 ERA in four career inter-league starts. Our View:Weaver only allowed one earned run on four hits over eight innings in his last outing (against the Rays), but has been erratic from start to start, and he remains a risky fantasy hurler. In his favor, he does have a good record in inter-league play and is at home tonight. |
|
June 10, 2008 Jered Weaver improved to 6-6 with an excellent outing on Tuesday night. He held the Rays to four hits and one run over eight innings. Weaver walked two and struck out five. He is 3-1 over his last four starts. Our View:Weaver remains a frustrating hurler. He has been outstanding in three of his last six starts, but he'll also mix in outings where he's easily hittable. If you're in weekly head-to-head leagues, it's tough to deal with Jered. |
|
May 24, 2008 The White Sox bats have been very quiet lately, and Jered Weaver made sure Saturday that that trend continued, as the right-hander shut the Sox out for eight innings allowing just three hits and two walks while striking out six. Our View:Weaver has allowed just four hits and no runs over his last 15 innings versus the Sox, and he's allowed only two runs over his last three starts. |
|
May 24, 2008 Jered Weaver rejoined his teammates after being away for a couple of days to have his gastro-intestinal issues looked at, according to the Los Angeles Daily News. "I just wanted to get it checked out. I'm just glad it's cleaned out and I don't have to worry about it." Our View:Weaver is scheduled to start on Saturday against the White Sox, and all indications are that he will be able to take his regular turn without a problem. |
|
May 18, 2008 Jered Weaver held his brothers old team, the Dodgers, to two runs over 5.1 innings on Sunday. Weaver earned his third victory in the game thanks in part to seven strikeouts. Our View:Weaver has now allowed just two earned runs over his last 12.2 innings after getting shelled for eight runs against the Royals in his previous start. He appears to be fully healthy, so if he can just stay that way, his ERA should continue to tumble. |
|
May 14, 2008 The Angels emerged from the offerings of poor relief pitching from the Chicago White Sox to steal a 2-0 win, helped in large part by the work of their own starter, RHP Jered Weaver . Weaver went seven innings, surrendering just one hit with no runs allowed, two walks and six strikeouts also added to the box score. Our View:Weaver needed the boost and, while he walked away with no decision, the positive vibes from such an outing could be huge moving forward. |
|
May 7, 2008 Jered Weaver was bombed for 10 hits, a walk, and eight earned runs in his fifth loss of the season for the Angels in just 3.1 innings of work. Our View:It doesn't get much uglier than this. Weaver's ERA sits at 5.59 and his WHIP is 1.48, so unless he is hiding some type of injury he would make a solid buy low candidate because he is a much better pitcher than this. |
|
April 27, 2008 Jered Weaver allowed two runs on four hits, walked four and struck out five over 6.1 innings to win for the first time in four starts. He was replaced by Justin Speier with two outs in the seventh inning. Our View:The win represented Weaver's most efficient start this year, but the right-hander still needs more fine tuning before he can pitch deeper into games. Weaver threw 108 pitches in his 6.1 innings of work. |
|
April 22, 2008 Jered Weaver served up 10 hits and five runs over five innings against the Red Sox on Tuesday night. He didn't issue a walk, struck out four, and allowed two homers. Our View:That's two straight outings with 10 hits allowed for Weaver. The right-hander sometimes has dominant stuff, but his ERA is now 4.63 over his last 17 starts. That sounds more like Jeff Weaver. |
|
April 22, 2008 Jered Weaver will be looking for his second win of the season today as he takes the hill against Boston, according to MLB.com. He is currently 1-3 with a 3.60 ERA, and is 0-2 lifetime against the Red Sox in four outings with a 4.70 ERA. Our View:He will duel with Josh Beckett, who seemingly has an advantage in this match-up. |
|
April 5, 2008 Jered Weaver hurled seven shutout innings on Saturday night to lead the Angels to a 2-1 victory over the Rangers. Weaver allowed only three base runners on the night, all on hits, while striking out six batters. With John Lackey and Kelvim Escobar on the sidelines Weaver has really stepped up his game and is pitching very well right now with an 11 to 2 K/BB mark. |
|
March 31, 2008 Jered Weaver went 6.1 innings in Monday's season opening 3-2 loss to the Twins. The Angels right-hander allowed eight hits, three runs, two walks and struck out five in the loss. |
|
March 28, 2008 Angels manager Mike Scioscia confirmed Thursday that Jered Weaver will start on opening day, according to the LA Times. No surprise, since Kelvim Escobar and John Lackey are out for the foreseeable future. Weaver will be followed in order by Jon Garland, Joe Saunders, Ervin Santana and, likely, Dustin Moseley. |
|
March 26, 2008 Jered Weaver was strong in a no decision against the Cubs on Wednesday as he only allowed one run on six hits over six innings of work, with five strikeouts and no walks. His spring ERA holds strong at 1.37 and he should continue to creep up draft boards. |
|
March 12, 2008 With projected opening day starter John Lackey still ailing and behind the rest of the staff in work, another impressive Tuesday outing makes Jered Weaver the favorite to receive the opening day start. The young Weaver held the Padres to one run over four innings of work, and offered up but one hit on the day. His spring totals of six strikeouts to one walk and 2.0 ERA over nine innings is promising. |
|
March 6, 2008 Jered Weaver looked sharp on Thursday allowing only a single run over three innings. Coming on the heels of his last outing in which he allowed nothing in two innings, the younger Weaver appears to be in mid-season form. Weaver had a solid season last year but since it did not match his fine work the year before, you might be able to get a bit of bargain with Jered on draft day this year. |
|
February 14, 2008 Jered Weaver, who was forced to begin the 2007 season on the disabled list with biceps tendinitis, has been throwing since Thanksgiving and preparing hard for a successful spring. According to the team's official website, Weaver has been working mostly on his lower body strength, wanting to keep his upper half free and easy for his rhythmic delivery. The tall, lanky right-hander is still underweight for his 6'7" frame but is beginning to understand the importance of year-round conditioning. "By not being able to be with the team and pitch when I was supposed to pitch," Weaver said of last spring, "I let my team down, mostly. Obviously, I let the whole organization down by not coming in here and being ready to go. I think that was the most disappointing part about it." Weaver finished 13-7 with a 3.91 ERA in 28 starts last year and is a top-tiered talent in the fantasy realm. |
