Again thank you for everything you did for our team, Jered! You are among the greatest to every play Angels baseball and I, for one, will remember you fondly and with a simultaneous smile and glare on my face!

From his first start at home against Baltimore to the very end, this dude battled every night.

Thank you Jered, it was a pleasure.

This is how we'll always remember the great Jered Weaver.

Jered Weaver..class act and a great Angel!

PS: would love to have Weaver sign a one day contract and retire an Angel.

Well said! One of my favorite players. Good luck Lil Weave.

Congrats on a great career Weave!

Glad you were an Angel. Good luck in the future

Absolute class act. He took less money to stay with the Angels. He is in my all time fav Top 5 Angels.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Wish you had retired an Angel. Good luck with the next chapter of your life.

I shall forever remember the no hitter and near perfect game he threw.

Good for him

Gave it everything he had .... never backed down.  Pretty much all you could ask for from a SP....    There is no looking back at the Angels' golden age without thinking about number 36.

One of the A list Angels pitchers, took a home town discount, appreciated his fans.

One of my greatest joys as an Angels fan has been watching Jered Weaver pitch over the years.  I was there when he made his major league debut.  There when he threw his no-hitter and for countless other games where he battled and competed like a champion - even though he would never have the honor of being a WS champion.  I was there at his press conference when he signed his extension.  I only wish I would have been able to see his last game as a Padre.  Easily my favorite Angels pitcher of all time - just above Chuck Finley. I always wore his name on my back whenever I went to a game where he was on the mound.  I have mad respect for the man and I loved the way he carried himself.  He was a master and really knew how to pitch, actually PITCH and his artistry was beautiful to watch.  I will miss Jered Weaver, but I am so thankful for the many great memories.

Thanks for everything Jered!

Go Halos!

[Angel Oracle]

Congrats on a wonderful career, Weave!     Whether for LB State or the Halos, you always give them a chance to win.

This right here was Weaver's expertise as a pitcher. His ability to mix pitches with pinpoint command and control in his prime was why he was so successful and why hitters like Miguel Cabrera hated to be in the box against him.

Between him and Lackey I  haven't seen that kind of fire and competitiveness in a long time. Thanks for the memories Jered.

This now sticks out most to me for some reason, lol.

Yeah I remember.  He had a clubhouse presence.

[budice0]

Good times and was a positive force for the Halos.

[JustATroutFan]

A tremendous and underrated career! But he should have retired after 2015 though. 

[Angelsfirst]

One of my very favorite Angels pitchers. The guy was all heart and left everything on the mound every time he pitched. If only more players had his intensity. This thread alone demonstrates how much respect he had around here, even on this often fickal and unforgiving message board.

Like somebody  mentioned, just the fact that he took less money to stay here shows what a stand up guy he is. A true gamer. I'll definitely miss watching him pitch at Angel stadium. Enjoy your retirement and thank you Jered.

That Weaver death stare .gif rules btw!
