And so he'll return to 2006 playoff form...

He'll have a Sutcliffe 16-1 year now!

Roto confirms:

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that the Brewers have signed Jeff Weaver to a one-year, incentive-laden deal.

We're guessing that the deal was for less than the $3.6 million the team declined to pay Claudio Vargas this spring. Weaver will probably need a couple months to stretch out, but the move will provide depth to a starting rotation that's main issue has been manager Ned Yost's use of it. It could also facilitate an eventual trade of Dave Bush.

he still sucks

[wekse]

can't wait to see him pitch here in nashville.

Trying to copy the Cubs move of trying to get as many mediocre number 5 type starting pitchers as possible for versitility.

This move doesn't mean much to me, but I have to say, if Sheets stays healthy and Gallardo comes back strong, I am really worried.

[inari]

I was really expecting the Cardinals to pick him up at some point.

you really shouldn't worry about the brewers...you should really be worrying if lilly and hill don't return to form because without them we are going to go nowhere...

 

with them however, the brewers will not be able to outlast us

I don't really understand where the idea that the brewer's talent doesn't stack up with the cub's talent comes from. I think the only area where we have a clear cut advantage is in the bullpen, and we all now how unpredictable bullpen performance is.

 

If Sheets stays healthy, then a rotation of Sheets, Gallardo, Suppan, Parra, Bush/Villanuava/Weaver is at least as good as ours, with a good chance of being better than ours.

 

I am worried about the Brewers, and I'm especially worried about the Brewers if Lilly and Hill pitch like they have, for the rest of the year (which they won't).

no, i never said that...the brewers ARE a very good team, and they have a very nasty line-up...that being said though...once our lineup starts to gel...i think we are slightly better plus i believe a huge wild card in the race will be the trade deadline this year...i have a feeling hendry is going to pull off something very very nice...but that is just me probably being way too optimistic

I wasn't necessarily referring to you. I just recall a lot of people thinking that we have more talent than the brewers, and I just don't see that at all. I expect a very tight race.

i think the only reason people think we have more talent than the brewers lies in one name...

Damn, I don't think there is a pitcher in baseball I hate more than Jeff Weaver. It's gonna suck when he owns us.
