February 9, 2010 Brandon Webb threw off a mound on Tuesday, the first time he's done so since undergoing shoulder surgery in August, according to MLB.com. "[It] went good," Webb said. "[The] ball came out well, but I was just thinking about arm slot on every throw. That's to be expected, not having thrown on the mound in so long." Our View:The Diamondbacks will surely be cautious with Webb heading into this spring as he continues to rehab. Webb does, however, expect to be ready by the start of the 2010 regular season as long as he continues to progress as he has been, and there's plenty of reason to believe he'll again be an excellent starting pitcher. |

February 5, 2010 Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports that Brandon Webb (recovery from shoulder surgery) will throw off of a mound next Tuesday for the first time since undergoing the procedure last August. Our View:He is reportedly 100 percent healthy, so unless something unexpected comes up on Tuesday, he will be ready for spring training, and ready for you to take a mid-round flier on in your draft. |

January 21, 2010 Brandon Webb is playing catch regularly at Chase Field as he recovers from August shoulder surgery, according to the Arizona Republic. Skipper A.J. Hinch said, "He looks really good and really comfortable. I saw him throughout his process last year and even when he almost got back on the mound he never looked comfortable." Our View:The elite hurler had a floating arm slot in 2009, and is now throwing with confidence again. Webb could be a nice value pick if he proves to be healthy in the upcoming campaign. He is entering the last year of his contract with Arizona, and will have added motivation to pitch well too. |

January 11, 2010 It seems quite likely that 2010 will be Brandon Webb's last season with the Diamondbacks, according to the Arizona Republic. "Obviously, you want to see what's out there and do the best deal you can for yourself and your family," Webb said. "We've had a great time in Arizona, and if everything works out and we stay here, that would be good. But to get back close to home (in Kentucky) would be just as good. I'm definitely keeping it open. I'm not going to hold myself down to just Arizona." Our View:With just one season remaining on his contract, Webb could be a candidate to be dealt to a contender at some point this upcoming season if the Diamondbacks struggle early on. Webb will be coming off shoulder surgery but is still just 30 years old and would seemingly have at least a few good years left in him. |
