Jeff Weaver has pitched in some big games over his career. In fact over his 10 year career he has won 96 times. This year he is playing for the first place Dodgers and he is 3 and 1.
Jered Weaver is the younger brother. In fact he is 6 years younger than his big brother. Jered's performances are even more impressive this year. Jered beat the Padres on Sunday night, throwing a complete game shutout, allowing just 5 hits, and striking out 5. He moved into second place among the AL E.R.A. leaders with a mark just over 2.00. The only hurler with a better E.R.A. is Zach Greinke. That is impressive.
What is more impressive is that Jered is now 7-2 on the year and had win #42 of his career. I have a prediction. Jered Weaver will win more games than his brother during their careers and that the Cy Young award will come to Jered over the next three years. I believe that by the time Jered turns 30 that he will have notched between 100-110 wins, and that an 18 to 20 win season is within reach. I love to watch this guy pitch. He just gets the ball and goes to work.
What do you think about Jered? Is he a potential 300 game winner?
