Watching that game I'm reminded of why they have scouts. Weaver's arm slot is lower than I remembered, and not surprisingly lefties have teed off on him. Uh, my bad. He looked more like Braden Looper (minus a few mph) than Matt Morris. After that trade that shan't be named, I've been wondering if the Cardinals evaluation of major league talent is along the lines of "Weaver? Decent name. Yeah, he's worth a lower tier prospect." I'm not making any sweeping statements based on one game -- Weaver's first start in three weeks -- but I hope that brain trust conference at the time of the trade didn't end with "Sure, Dunc can fix him."

Tomorrow I think I'll go watch Lastings Milledge rather than ride the Jason Marquis roller coaster. At the very least I can learn if the recently demoted Jose Lima performs his dugout schtick at AAA.
