This one is a tougher challenge, though. His personality is too laid-back for some, a situation made worse when the team is struggling and he's not producing the way he has in the past. If there's a shake-up coming, it could very well include Clark. I'm not ready to say anything's wrong with Weaver that his next start can't cure. Then Minnesota pounded him twice.
Pitchers go through dead-arm periods, though.
Especially young pitchers whose arms aren't conditioned to the rigors of a major-league season. Weaver's a kid. And his arm is learning. He was making excellence look automatic for a while, but it never is. Ask some of those Yankees pitchers who'll be in town this week.
