Weaver added weight during the offseason with the hope that he'll be able to pitch deeper into games, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

Analysis:

Weaver's weight fell as low as 199 pounds last season, and he currently weighs in at 224 pounds. He said that he isn't focused on adding velocity, but he does hope that the extra weight will help his durability. Weaver will enter his age-33 campaign with some major question marks after posting his worst ERA (3.59) since 2009 last season.
