Padres' Jered Weaver: Signs on with Padres

Weaver will sign a one-year deal with the Padres on Monday, pending a physical, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Analysis:

He spent the first 11 years of his career with the Angels, where he was a three-time All-Star and compiled a 3.55 career ERA. Weaver's production has dropped off significantly in the last two seasons, however, and he posted a career-worst 5.06 ERA in 31 starts last year. Even more appalling, he gave up a league-leading 37 home runs. Nonetheless, the Padres gain a workhorse in Weaver; the veteran has started at least 24 games in each of his last 10 seasons and is averaging 214 innings per year. The right-hander should get plenty of opportunities, but don't expect any fantasy magic from the veteran.
