    So starts the cycle of Weaver getting big money, sucking badly, moving from team to team before La Russa takes a chance on him and he becomes a hero.

    What he said.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    The Mariners and Jeff Weaver are likely to agree to a one-year contract, according to the Seattle Times.

    I'm not sure which Jeff Weaver will show up. But if its the playoff version of him, ill take him as our #2 starter.

    Who's to say that, We didn't think we would see that Jeff Weaver before last year.

    Once again this just shows how this years market has gotten out of hand.
    "They asked me if I wanted the ball in Game 6, and I said yes. I'll always say yes. That's what I did with Jack McKeon. I told him, 'Let me see how I feel tomorrow.' I went out, did a long toss, came in and said, 'I'll pitch, I want it, I want to do it.' And it ended up working out." -Josh Beckett

    Rhodes, meanwhile, signed a minor-league contract and received an invitation to spring training. General manager Bill Bavasi said the 37-year-old Rhodes "is going to get a tremendous opportunity to make the club. You can never have too much left-handed pitching in the bullpen."
    This was lost in that whole article. THEY BETTER NOT LET HIM MAKE THE DAMN ROSTER.

    Looks like a done-deal: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slu...e&type=fantasy
    This move has a lot of down-side to it. If Weaver regresses, the Mariners are out a lot of money with little to show for it. If he does well, it is a good move.
