Jeff Weaver Found Work

JSOnline:

I received a tip from a reliable source this morning that the Brewers have signed free-agent right-hander Jeff Weaver to an incentive-laden deal.

I'm traveling to St. Louis this morning and won't be able to get it confirmed with club management until later but the source is pretty reliable. It will be interesting to see what the Brewers have in mind for Weaver, who went 7-13 with a 6.20 ERA in 27 starts with Seattle last season but did not sign with a team before the 2008 season began.

The Brewers probably will send Weaver to extended spring training and then Class AAA Nashville. This might be an effort to increase their starting pitching depth after Chris Capuano injured his shoulder in spring training and Claudio Vargas was released.

I think the Brewers will be pleasantly surprised. I think Graham agrees.

Also, I was just playing around with some numbers, and after throwing 88-90mph two years ago with the Marlins, Joe Borowski is down to 82-86. Already bad, now he seems thoroughly finished.

(I know, I know, you just picked up Betancourt in your fantasy leagues. You don't need to tell us that now.)

Really not a bad pickup with an incentive-laden contract

definitely above replacement… Good for a Baek type of role

Yeah

he finally got the contract a lot us thought he should’ve signed two years ago.
I can’t believe he got $8m plus after that crappy year with the Dodgers, and then got $8m plus AGAIN the next year after being cut by Anaheim.

Actually...

I spent a late round pick on Betancourt back on draftday.
