This oughta make fans in Cleveland sleep better. They might be losing C.C. Sabathia eventually, but replacements are on the way. The Indians will make sure that the baseball season will go on better than ever. For when this Sabathia trade finally does happen, seamlessly stepping in will be: Jeff Weaver.Yes, circumstances continue to enable Weaver to find work as the Indians have signed him to a minor league deal to provide a warm body take up innings for the Tribe, no matter what might happen. At least Weaver is long past the point of getting big dollars on the strength of his best season (which was 14-11 with the Dodgers in '05), or the strength of a very good postseason in '06 with the Cardinals (surprised that Dave Duncan could make Kyle Lohse a 10-2 pitcher ... how about what he did with Weaver in '06 after the Angels released him mid-season at 3-10?)
Ah, fun times in Cleveland.
