On Luke Weaver, you said, “Guys don’t want him,” and you have that right. He and Luis Castillo are on my never-again list. I’d take Bartolo Colon over Luke Weaver if they were somehow the last two pitchers available and I had to take one or the other. Colon’s WHIP was much lower than Weaver’s last season (1.35 vs 1.50) and he added some personality at a much lower cost.
