Weaver wins Golden Spikes

Jered Weaver, the Angels' first-round pick in this year's draft, was honored with the prestigious "Golden Spikes Award," which goes to the year's top amateur baseball player. Weaver was 15-1 with a 1.62 ERA and 213 strikeouts for Long Beach State in 2004. It is just the latest in a string of honors for Weaver- he was also named Collegiate Baseball Magazine's "Player of the Year," winner of the "Dick Howser Trophy" (awarded to the year's best collegiate player), and is a finalist for the "Roger Clemens Award" (awarded to the year's top collegiate pitcher, to be named tomorrow), in addition to being a first-team all-American.

He has yet to sign with the Angels.
