Angels purchased the contract of RHP Jered Weaver from Triple-A Salt Lake.
Weaver, 23, earned the opportunity by going 4-1 with a 2.05 ERA, 44 H and 66/8 K/BB in 57 IP for Triple-A Salt Lake. He should be available out of the pen on Friday night and he could get one or two starts before Bartolo Colon returns. If he pitches well, the possibility exists that he'll bump his brother to the pen. AL-only leaguers should grab Weaver right away. He's not as exciting of a possibility in mixed leagues -- his flyball tendencies could result in a subpar ERA despite strong showings in WHIP and strikeouts -- but it is possible that he'll have some value.

I am very very excited about this.
Time to hit up the Angels games on my neighbor's dish.
