no, weaver was on a one-year contract w/the Angels this year. Besides, I think if you release a guy, you're on the hook for his contract and he can sign for whatever he wants with another team. Thanks. I was worried they would get Weaver for league minimum for the next 3 years and have a guy with about a 4.00 era. (i must thought he and ortiz were in the same boat). would of been a good deal for them. Not we just gotta get the birds to bite the bait and sign weaver to nice hefty contract :twisted: Why would they do that when they can just pick up some other piece of crap for cheap? seriously. guys like Bruce Chen, Joel Pineiro and Shawn Estes are probably available. Since the Cards have the miracle worker in their dugout, there's no reason to spend any money on pitching. Wouldn't that just take the cake? sigh, sadly I do know this. I am waiting for Prior to get healthy once he signs with them.
