Jered Weaver

Jered Weaver was a college phenom where at California State University, Long Beach he won both the Golden Spikes Award and Dick Howser Trophy.  Drafted by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Weaver was in the starting rotation as a rookie (2006) and in 2009 he had a 16 and 8 season.  That would usher in a three-year stint where he was amongst the best hurlers in the American League going to the All-Star Game three years straight (2010-12) and he was in the top five in Cy Young voting those campaigns peaking with a runner-up in 2011.  He won the Strikeout Title in 2010 and the Wins and WHIP Title in 2012.  While the 2010-12 stretch was his best, he would have a league leading 18 Wins in 2014.  Weaver retired with 150 Wins.
