Bringing Back Dream Weaver?

I was wondering how others might feel about the Cards bringing back Dream Weaver?  I think Jeff's had some success with Cards and Duncan, so it would be good for him to be here again. I am just not sure how well he would fit into Cards' future plans.  He should be reasonably priced now (in the bargain bin), and I doubt con-man Boras can do his trick again.  I am not necessarily rooting for him to be back, but at least he is a somewhat known quantity with the Cards.  Can he be worse than Kip Wells?

"Would the Cardinals consider bringing back Jeff Weaver?
-- James T.

I asked this question directly of general manager John Mozeliak during the Winter Meetings, and he didn't rule it out. He also didn't show much enthusiasm for the proposition. He did say, though, that the bridge isn't completely burned.

The deal is this: Scott Boras is not going to move quickly on Weaver as long as he has bigger fish to fry -- such as Kyle Lohse, who reportedly may seek five years. So once the Boras Corp. gets around to dealing on Weaver, the Cards probably hope to be squared away in their rotation.

It's not a non-starter, but it's a long shot."

Also, here is a Mariner's fan's memory of Dream Weaver last season.
