It looks as though the Tribe will not be shifting the starting rotation -- nor sending Westbrook packing -- to make room for Jeff Weaver:

I think this keeps the Halos as the team to beat out West. $8.6M seems about right for him. Maybe a tad high, but that's how things seem to go when you are a starter full of "potential" (which he seems to have realized at least somewhat in spacious Chavez-Ravine).
