PEORIA, Ariz. — Throughout the winter, Jered Weaver held out hope that the day last October he received a standing ovation from Angel Stadium fans wasn’t going to be his last in an Angels uniform. As recently as a couple weeks ago, Weaver talked...

I'm not sure there is anything left in the tank for Weaver. I was hoping he'd hang them up and retire as an Angels lifer lile Salmon.

I'm with Chuck on this. Would have been nice to see Weaver retire as an Angel. Hard to see him having anything left in the tank to make it through another season.

The problem here is that Weaver is only 34 and a fierce competitor so I'm sure he still thinks he has something left, but for whatever reason he lost it at a relatively young age.

I'll be rooting for him to have a good year in SD.

The current Angels roster is too thin in talent to have given Weaver a charity contract.

The bigger question here is which hat does Kid Weaver wear into the HOF...

The Angels or Expos?

He won't be going to the HOF.

Plenty left in the tank ... I hope he makes the Angels regret not signing him. Although, that doesn't mean I don't support their decision. 

I think Weaver got a little to comfortable with the Angels ... a kick in the ass never hurt anybody. 

Go get em Weav!

Big bro Mope also lost it at a younger age (30), granted he wasn't as decorated as Weave was.

Both had the similar exaggerated delivery, where they turned their back to home plate.

I think Eppler knew that based on past history, Sosh would have given Weaver 30+ starts no matter how poorly he pitched.

Yeah I hear ya, neither had classic mechanics for sure.

Whether it was mechanics, genetics, or a combination, we'll never really know why Jeff and Jered lost it at such young ages.

Jered was a class act imo and I wish him well in SD.

So whose ready for him to be traded to OAK at the deadline and revitalize his career for another season or two?

I hope he continues that stretching program and gets that fastball up to 83 mph.
