2012 Player Preview: Jered Weaver
Jered Weaver made headlines in 2011 for plenty of good reasons and a few not so good ones. Now in 2012, Weaver will be charged with maintaining his now nationally known dominance, justifying his big contract extension and leading one of the best rotations in baseball.
2011 Stats: 18-8, 235.2 IP, 2.41 ERA, 182 H, 56 BB, 20 HR, 198 K
2012 ZiPS Projections: 16-8, 216.2 IP, 3.16...

Fantasy Baseball 2012: Starting Pitcher Tiers
Your fantasy baseball drafts are right around the corner. Here’s my attempt at separating 40 starting pitchers into eight tiers.
Tiers are very subjective and one player could easily be considered just good enough or just bad enough to be in the next higher or lower tier.
Let me know what you think. Also check out my fantasy baseball first basemen tiers, second basemen...

Jered Weaver: 2012 Fantasy Bust
In 2011, Jered Weaver had an outstanding year, finishing 5th among pitchers in ESPN's Player Rater (his second year in a row finishing in the top 10) with a 2.41 ERA, a 1.01 WHIP and 198 strikeouts.
However, there are troubling signs that a repeat is very unlikely. Weaver had a 82.6 LOB%, a .250 BABIP, and a 6.3% HR/FB ratio. All of these stats are affected to some degree by...

Jered Weaver’s Wedding Registry Includes $17 Splatter Screen
It was announced less than 20 days ago that Jered Weaver signed an $85 million extension with the Angels. So it shouldn’t come as a shock that upon inspection of his wedding registry – November 12 is the big day – that Busted Coverage should announce a big F-YOU to a guy asking for a $17 splatter screen from Great-Aunt Becky who can barely afford the damn cable...

An In Depth Look At Starting Pitchers
Well, it’s no secret, starting pitcher get treated like red-headed stepchildren when it comes to fantasy baseball. They are constantly passed over for hitters. Time and time again they are knocked down the overall rankings sheet because they throw a ball for a living instead of hitting it, and rightfully so! Poor multi-millions, why don’t you go cry to your super-model wife...

Jered Weaver of the Los Angeles Angels finishes 2nd in the A.L. Cy Young voting

Weaver pitched in 33 games (all starts) for the Angels last year and he was 18-8 with a 2.41 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP.

A Cheap Jered Weaver Autograph Makes Two Dirtbags Down, One To Go
When I decided to collect hits of the three best Long Beach State Dirtbags to ever lace 'em up, I mainly had my sights set on an autograph from each of those three gentlemen: Troy Tulowitzki, Evan Longoria, and Jered Weaver. I knew they wouldn't be cheap, but I had no intention of breaking the bank to begin with. I was fortunate enough to swing a deal for Tulo's signature...

2012 Player Profile: Dan Haren
It may have been Jered Weaver getting all of the Cy Young attention in 2011, but a case could be made that Dan Haren was actually better than Weaver last season. Can Haren repeat the same kind of success in 2012 and if so, will it actually get noticed this time?

And Jered Matters As The Weaver
Jered Weaver will not make his final start of the year because he doesn’t care about your H2H team. Weaver ends the season with a line of 18-8/2.41/1.01/198. If you throw out three bad starts, his ERA would’ve been 1.72 in 220 innings, but if if’s and but’s were candy and nuts no one would ever leave the bathroom. Verlander’s gonna win the Cy Young...
