However, Weaver has suddenly looks quite human and on Wednesday against the Mariners he dropped his fourth straight start. It’s not as if he’s been pounded during this stretch – he’s gone six innings in each outing, surrendering six or seven hits and three or four runs each time – but when compared to his first half-dozen starts of the season, it looks like a slump. He’s given up a total of 14 runs in his last four starts combined – like I said, he’s not getting bitch slapped or anything like that.

Where’s the pop, dude? One homer every 35.5 at-bats? That isn’t going to cut it for Fantasy owners, so it isn’t a great surprise that he’s begun to wind up on the waiver wire in some shallow leagues.
