No, even though Weaver got shelled tonight, I don't think he is in danger of slipping out of the rotation anytime soon. But even expecting last year's measure of success may be unrealistic. Pitchers who have phenomenal rookie years typically have a drop off; early in their careers scouting reports start to circulate and big league hitters pick up on their stuff. Fernando's ERA jumped almost a run from 1982 to 1983 (his second and third seasons).
And how is Jeff Weaver doing this year? 0-3 with a 13.91 ERA. It looks like he has recovered nicely from his World Series anomaly.
