Rebounds could give Angels boost in 2016

Life is all about perspective, right?

Below is a look at the Angels' bounceback candidates.

SP Jered Weaver: He's 33 years old now, entering the finality of a five-year, $85 million extension and coming off his worst season yet. Weaver is already one of the three best pitchers in Angels history, but it's hard to see him continue to be effective with an average fastball velocity of 84 mph. That's where it sat last year, and Weaver paid the price, going 7-12 with a 4.64 ERA and a career-low 5.1 strikeouts per nine innings.
