The Angels had previously entertained the idea of bringing back Weaver right after Wednesday's outing, and the encouraging performance only makes that more likely now.","date":"Wed May 22"},"fullName":"Jered Weaver","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"There are some warning signs with Weaver that are of concern if you plan on making him your ace. Most notably, his strikeout rate is in freefall to a point that it is a tick below league average. A possible cause for this is a drop in fastball velocity, while his off-speed offerings have all gained a little speed; the differential between the two is narrowing. If Weaver's punchouts continue to wane, his ability to sport an ERA lower than his expected ERA may suffer. Also of concern is Weaver missed three starts last season due to shoulder stiffness. He's recovered, but it does lower his durability points a tick. Putting it all together, Weaver is still worth of fantasy ace status, it's just he's now at the bottom of the tier as opposed to the top like the past couple of seasons.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Feb 21"},"positionRank":158}
