Weaver has been the anchor to the Angels staff for years now and is taking this offseason serious in order to take his game to the next level. With an Angels staff that will be without Garrett Richards at the start of the year it will be important the Weaver eats up innings.
Richards was excellent for the Angels last year as he went 13-4 with a 2.61 ERA before going down with an injury. Weaver had an awesome year as well as he went 18-9 with a 3.59 ERA.
