Weaver earns no decision for gem: Angels starting pitcher Jered Weaver limited the A’s to just three hits on Wednesday and allowed just one run in the start, unfortunately, the team’s failing offense was unable to give him any support, as he received a no decision as the game went into extra innings. Weaver’s lone mistake in the game came with two outs in the sixth inning, when he gave up a solo home run to outfielder Seth Smith. Other than that, he limited the A’s to just a pair of walks and three hits in his eight innings, lowering his ERA to 2.61 on the season. (Updated 05/23/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
This is the second time this season Weaver has given up one or no runs in a start and received a no decision for the start, as the Angels’ offense has been underwhelming this season. Still, his record stands at 6-1 through 10 starts, so there is not much to complain about there. Weaver has a two-start week during Week 9 (May 28-June 3), and while he does have to face the Yankees on Monday and the Rangers on Sunday, he should continue to be considered a high-end starting pitcher in all formats.

05/14/2012 00:18 Rangers separating themselves from rest of baseball
The box was waiting for baseball's best team upon its arrival home Friday afternoon. Inside? You would have thought it contained some of the greatest treasures ever offered.
After posting a 3.01 ERA and leading the AL in strikeouts in 2010, Jered Weaver had a similarly dominant campaign a year ago. He went 6-0 with a 0.99 ERA over his first six starts and the right-hander posted an astounding 1.78 ERA over his first 24 outings -- with a 150-to-39 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 176 2/3 innings -- before falling off slightly down the stretch. While his strikeouts fell off a bit, he finished the year with career bests in wins (18), ERA (2.41) and innings pitched (235 2/3). He would end up finishing second behind Tigers ace Justin Verlander in the AL Cy Young voting and could be in for his best year yet in 2012. He has lowered his ERA each of the last four seasons and remains the ace of a bolstered Angels staff. With the additions of C.J. Wilson to the rotation and Albert Pujols to the lineup, Weaver could be in for the first 20-win campaign of his career and his all-around production should keep him as one of the best pitchers in baseball. The 29-year-old should be considered a Top 10 Fantasy starting pitcher on Draft Day, worthy of being taken in the early rounds. (Updated 2/21/12)
