Webb to throw
Not sure he's ever gonna be a quality arm again, but if there's any chance at all I wouldn't mind having him stashed in Lousiville for an emergency. Was Price supposed to work him out at some point (or had he be working with him to prepare)?

Re: Webb to throw
You know Spring Training is close when you hear about Webb throwing for erstwhile interested GMs. He's become the Puxatawney Phil of Spring Training free agency.

Re: Webb to throw
Perhaps they can pull a Dempster/ Madsen with him. Nurse him back to full health, then go let him actually pitch for someone else.

Re: Webb to throw
I couldn't believe it when Texas shelled out a bunch of money for him coming off surgery.
I'd definitely take a minor league flyer on him if that's the only interest he's given.

Re: Webb to throw
Time to scratch him off the list (if he hadn't been already), he's officially retired as of today:
