Deadspin
Who says Scott Boras has lost it? Sure, he bombed out the Alex Rodriguez negotiations, and he ended up putting Kyle Lohse, the supposed top free agent pitching name, in St. Louis at an extreme discount. But look at what he's done with Jeff Weaver!
Weaver, who signed a one-year contract after one of the most dominant postseason performances in recent memory and ended up practically destroying the Mariners' pennant chances (and any hope at a contract this year), has finally landed with a team: The Nashville Sounds.
Yes, Weaver signed a minor league contract with the Milwaukee Brewers, and if everything goes perfect, he could be with the team in a month. We do hope he pitches for the Brewers at Busch at some point this year. Busch Stadium is the only place on earth that would welcome Weaver with a standing ovation ... and that includes the Weaver household.

The Brewers have Weaver and Suppan. They are also batting the pitcher 8th and ESPN and their announcers talk about it like it's the 2nd coming.
Get your own schtick, Milwaukee!
Friends, if wanna get high you gotta get high on Jeff Weaver and Robert Fick's supply.
@Lady Andrea: Not just that, but Ned Yost has already made plans to drink too much red wine tonight.
Will, where are you in that picture, exactly?
weaver also had a minor league contract offer from st. louis, but was told that the weed is better in nashville
I'm beginning to think that Scott Boras is not the brilliant tactician I thought he was
♪ Jeff Weaver. I believe he can get me to the ninth (batter of the game). ♪
@Lady Andrea: I don't like it DAMMIT! You can keep your schtick.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaweaver! Red Snapper!
I've got Weaver Fever!
No, seriously. I've been vomiting and I have a terrible rash on my genitalia. Please help.
Hey, party in Nashville! I have a sweet basement apartment that we can all crash in...
@Lady Andrea: @Carlton_Whitfield: Until Milwaukee's announcers truly go Mike Shannon by making absurd pronouncements, like, "I wish everyone back home could see this full moon we have in New York tonight" and calls Chinese foreign exchange students "derelicts", they've got nothing on us.
I thought we only had man love for Ankiel.
Maybe Boras can find Kent Bottenfield a minor league home tomorrow.
@Sherrill-Theory: I Heart Mike Shannon.
@J-No: "we" as in the Cubs? Why would you have man love for Ankiel?
@Lady Andrea: Not me, the royal we. Although, I loved the story until the HGH issues. I am sucker for underdogs. Obviously.
More shitty pitching in the division? Thanks, baseball!
@Sherrill-Theory: True-- we do have that going for us.
@Sherrill-Theory: Uecker doesn't talk enough to make any such small-talk. Sometimes, he goes minutes without a word, even. It's almost as disconcerting as that racialism targetting the Ozark audience.
He will love his time in Nashville...which will be probably about 6 months...
