Im convinced that after tonights win vs. the Yankees, that the Angels should use Weaver as their closer for the rest of the postseason. Weaver came out in relief tonight and had a 3up 3down inning. Fuentes comes in and gets the first 2 outs, and then proceedes to walk or hit, the bases loaded, before finally getting Swisher to fly out with a 3-2 count! Looking at Fuentes stats for the batter he faced, 2-3 vs Cano, and Matsui. Swish was only 1-5 against him, but still doesn't it say something when your closer is not too good some of the leagues best hitters.
My argument for Weaver is that he has more velocity on his fastball, and more movement. It also helps that his delievery is unusual, and it causes deception. But whatever i guess we can't complain, cause we won. Ill see everyone on sunday.
