He’s Zack Weiss, a guy who maintained a 4.0 GPA in high school and then majored in environmental studies and geography at UCLA. That geography major has probably helped him quite a bit over the last ten years, because he’s played for teams all over the country throughout an extensive minor/independent league career. The Red Sox just picked him up off waivers after he was dropped by the Angels.
What position does he play?
Right-handed relief pitcher, the saltine cracker of baseball positions.
Is he any good?
He’s a 31-year-old who’s played for five different Major League organizations, three different independent league teams, and has logged only 20.
