Prospect Weaver turning heads early

JUPITER, Fla. -- It was too early to form much of an opinion, but, put on the spot, Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak obliged. It was the first day of Spring Training, and he had been asked to cite someone who had already caught his eye.

His choice? Luke Weaver.

Mozeliak went on to describe Weaver as looking "fresh," a welcomed first impression of the 2014 first-round pick who a year ago got off to a sluggish start. Tightness in his right arm plagued him out of Minor League Spring Training and delayed his season debut until May.
