[Jon]

According to the AP, the Angels have called up Jered. He'll make his debut tomorrow night.

 

Esteban Yan was DFAed.

Does Hendry know what a DFA is? If not, he should learn about it because we have several players that clearly need to go.

[Outshined_One]

Little under a year after the Angels signed him, he's called up.

 

Not bad.

[CubfaninCA]

the cubs didn't pass on him right??

 

i recall weaver being considered a tough person to sign. anaheim was an ideal fit since he's a socal guy. but aren't most of them....

[Butterscup1679666578]

Jim Hendry: "Ooo, Esteban Yan is available? He could be that guy to jumpstart our team!"

[Outshined_One]

Weaver's numbers in AAA thus far:

 

4-1, 2.05 ERA, 9 G, 8 GS, 1 CG, 1 SHO, 57 IP, 44 H, 13 ER, 4 HR, 66/8 K/BB, .214 BAA

 

Sexy line. The PCL is a hitter's league, so his only blemish (HR/9) might be more a result of pitching in bandboxes than anything.

No, they didn't. Jered was drafted in 2004, he fell to #12 - the Cubs didn't have a first rounder that year (thanks to LaTroy).

weaver looks quite good. so does kendry morales.

 

the angels have a bunch of kids in there tonight. aybar, morales, mcpherson, weaver and napoli, and is on their way to their 4th win in a row.

Yeah, he certainly was impressive last night. Jered is going to have a better season than Jeff, at this rate. Kendry certainly has been impressive too.

 

I think Billingsley will get called up soon by the Dodgers.

66/8 K/BB

 

:shock:

Weaver got sent down today. Really stupid decision IMO.

 

The decision to send the younger brother of Angels righty Jeff Weaver to the minors was a tough one for general manager Bill Stoneman and manager Mike Scioscia. Jered Weaver, the team's No. 1 draft pick in 2004, was 4-0 with a 1.37 earned-run average in four starts after his promotion on May 26.

And I thought Hendry was the stupidest GM in baseball.

[FloridaCubbie]

The Dude doesn't have the book out on him yet, it couldn't last.

The Angels just want to give Jeff a few starts, hoping that he'll have a good outing or two and someone will trade for him.

He's pieced together a few good outings recently.

Sending Jered Weaver down is an unbelievably bad move in so many ways.
