    Angels Dumbest move made all year.

    how in the hell do the Angels justify demoting a young pitcher who's 4-0 with a 1.37 ERA when they have someone who's 3-9 with a 6.02 ERA in the rotation?

    Jered Weaver was demoted

    Jeff Weaver is the one that should've been demoted (to the pen)

    He would just corrode the pen, like he did for the yankees. He just isn't good on these big market teams. It's crazy to think he was once a young up and coming potential ace for the tigers.

    well, either way he's not doing crap in the rotation and he, not his younger outstanding brother, should've been demoted.

    Hell, I would've dropped Ervin Santana before droping Jered with the way he's been pitching.

    Jeff Weaver has never ever been ace material, even for the Tigers! Angels are really dumb!

    The move was made to showcase Jeff so he can dealt to another team. Also, sending Jered down delays his service time, preventing him from becoming a Super 2 arbitration case.

    so Arte Moreno's actually worried about $$$?

    Screw that, the Angels should've kept Jered in the rotation.

    I'd be pissed to no end if I were an Angels fan right now.

    That's one thing the Angels are not worried about and that's money!

    Piss poor management is the only reason I can think of. There are serious talks of them trading Santana for Crawford which tels me they have no clue and don't care about the $$$.

    I don't get the move either, other than for the purpose of not overworking Jered's arm in the bigs like the Cubs did with Prior in his rookie season. But this is the same front office that selected Joe Saunders over Scott Kazmir for monetary reasons.

    The dumbest move might come when someone trades for his ass.

    I just explained the move's rationale. Yes, about 10 million between the two Weavers makes a damn difference. You think he got rich by spending all of his money?
