Its a typo.
On the ratings disk, if a pitcher has an "*", that means he is a lefty. For instance Bedard is shown as [b:eddc137252]Bedard,E*[/b:eddc137252]. There are 3 pitchers on the disk with an "*" who are RHP: Gonzalez, Anthony Reyes and Jered Weaver.
On the disk Weaver, and the other two, show up like this: [b:eddc137252]Weaver*,J[/b:eddc137252], with the asterisk after the last name instead of the initial.
Somewhere in the transcription/data entry process they got the "*" added inadvertently. Here is a [url=http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/baseball/stratomatic/2007/league/boxscore.html?group_id=141&g_id=139]box score[/url] with Weaver with the "*".
