Lederer on Weaver
Things are starting to look-up for the Angels hottest property:
"Over his last three starts, [2004 first-round pick Jered] Weaver has thrown 16 2/3 innings, allowing 8 hits, 6 runs (4 earned), and 2 walks, while striking out 26. He has gradually increased his pitch count from approximately 50 toward 100 and his arm strength apparently is close to where he was a little over a year ago when he led the Dirtbags to the Super Regionals and was honored by winning all of the collegiate player of the year awards."
That's great news, but one can't help but wonder where Jered would be had he avoided the bonus fiasco.
Also from the same post, we learn that Howie Kendrick has been promoted to AA Arkansas on Saturday. I would say Brandon Wood can't be too far behind, but that would raise the question as to what you do with Erick Aybar. If there's such a thing as having too many prospects, the Angels are living it.
