Vanderbilt's elite fireman (31 saves, 0.93 WHIP) was originally drafted by the Tigers in 2006, but after re-entry was snapped up by Colorado in 2007, then shipped to ChiTown in 2011 as part of the Ian Stewart trade. Weathers works with an arrow straight 95mph fastball that seems under his complete control, mixing in a plus change for devastating effect. He can also bring a nasty slider, though he uses it sparingly. While the Cubs have no screaming need for a closer in the near future, he could be valuable soon in a setup role, or if the bullpen grows injury-riddled.
