There's an old expression in Major League Baseball, "As the sun sets on one Weaver, another rises from its ashes." I have to say it was rather prophetic to predict the spontaneous combustion of Jered Weaver's career. Then again, it's not like there weren't clear signs that we had reached the end of the line with our most recent Weaver. I mean the man was throwing 67 MPH in his last few starts, or years, but whatever... That brings me to today's subject, our new shiny Weaver, complete with new car scent! I'm of course alluding to Cardinals rookie phenom Luke Weaver. The 24 year old right-hander got his first taste of the big leagues last year to mixed results. He looked brilliant at times, and caught too much of the plate at others. The issues with Weaver are rarely related to his pitching however. He's had an inability to stay healthy over the course of his career, never exceeding 120 innings pitched in a season. As for the player himself he has one of the more exciting upsides of any arm in the minors, mixing swinging strikes, with weak contact, and elite control. Since his most recent callup in late August, Weaver has posted back to back starts with 10 Ks and 1 walk, while limiting his opponents to a .224 batting average against. There's nothing I love more than digging into the start of a player I've been touting for a year plus. It's even better when that player's twitter handle (@DreamWeava7) has a Boston accent! I'm in LOVE!! Previously Weaver has ranked 48th (pre-season), and 60th in my mid-season, which is lofty praise. As anyone who reads my prospect work will tell you, I discount pitching prospects pretty heavily for fantasy purposes.  Enough of the small talk, here's what I witnessed in Weaver's Sunday start.
