Weaver vs Weaver

by SoCalSoxFan on May 30, 2006 2:09 AM EDT

Now that Jered is up, was wondering everyone's thoughts on the younger Weaver. He looked very impressive the other day in his debut in LAA. I know a bunch of you will cite flyball tendencies and all that, but just compared to his brother, what kind of career do you see. Jeff had some solid years, mostly in Detroit, then flamed a bit in NY and was a decent innings eater in LA.

So, who will have more career wins, Jeff or Jered Weaver. . . .here's a few pics from Jered's first start.

here's what i want to know

do they really both just have "weaver" on the back of their jersey? they don't get "jef" and "jer" to distinguish themselves? that seems confusing.

does it matter?

they are not going to be on the field at the same time, and they can be distinguished from each other by their numbers.

Another way to tell...

If you look at the scoreboard, and the opposing team has more than four runs, its most likely Jeff out there.

He is probably the only player over the course of the past 28 years who wishes he never left the Tigers (Yes, I know it wasnt by choice!).

Since it's not worth it's own diary...

I have a question for you guys. In my fantasy keeper league, I have the top waiver priority. Since Weaver was just added, he's now on waivers.
Should I...

(A.) Get Weaver
(B.) Get Milledge who will be added to waivers in a day or two
(C.) Save it for someone else.
