Brotherly comparison
Curious stat of the moment: Brothers Jeff and Jered Weaver each have made 16 starts with the Angels. The oddest part is that it seemed like Jeff barely was in an Angels uniform while Jered's stint seems to have gone on much longer.
The raw numbers on the two are that Jered is 11-2 with a 2.30 ERA. Jeff was 3-10 with the Angels with a 6.29 ERA. Jered has 87 strikeouts with 27 walks, while Jeff had 62 strikeouts and 21 walks.
Morphing the Weaver brothers into one pitcher, they have a combined 32 starts with a 14-12 record and a 4.15 ERA. If those numbers came just from Jeff, the Angels would have taken it. Then again, it might have taken his little brother longer to crack into the rotation if Jeff wasn't sent packing when he was.
