Jered Weaver had an excellent start wasted unfortunately by the Angels yesterday, as he struck out 12 over 7 innings en route to the loss. Quietly, Weaver has stepped into the Ace role for the Angels, as he has a 4-2 record with a 2.47 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 59 strikeouts in only 51 innings. He looks legitimate out there too, and maybe the Angels knew what they were doing when they let John Lackey leave via free agency.
