Weaver's Woes
Last year, when Jeff Weaver was traded to the Yankees, I wrote the following:
The other thing that doesn't make me like this deal from the Yankees point of view is that Weaver gets pounded by lefties for power, and now he's going to pitch half his games in a stadium that favors lefties.
Weaver gave up a 3-run HR to Burnitz in the 1st inning. He's now allowed eight HR this year, seven to lefties, and five of those seven have been at Yankee Stadium. Coming into today, lefties are slugging .540 vs. Weaver, righties .412. I think the best thing for both Weaver and the Yankees would be trade to a team that plays in a pitcher's park.
