Boras. What are the odds that Weaver ever gets another chance to cash in? He was lucky as hell to get this one.

Sure, blame this all on Borat.

I would want to know why St. Louis would want Weaver. Surely the Super Genius team of Jocketty and LaRussa are smart enough to not pay the millions I'm sure he's looking for because he pitched well in the WS and against the Reds. The rest of the time, he likely made them pine for Ponson.
I'd bet Jocketty lets him walk if he's asking for a big contract.
I wonder if the Cards resign Mulder (which I expect to happen), it will help them in their attempt to sign Zito and reunite 2 of the "Big 3". I would imagine those two were pretty close while pitching in Oakland. I'm sure they'll use that to their advantage.
I wouldn't blame him if he did.
