The Book on Casey Weathers
Prospect Info
Casey Weathers
Born 6/10/1985
RHP, COL
How many closers do the Rockies need, exactly? 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.
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 Rockies 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.
