Webb Looking For Hudson Money?Diamondbacks pitcher Brandon Webb may be looking for a contract similar to the one Tim Hudson signed with the Braves. "Webb loves Arizona and they will be considered highly, but Brandon WILL be looking at an incentive-based contract [with] a guaranteed base where [Brad] Penny and [Rich] Harden at $7.5MM, [Ben] Sheets at $10MM and [Tim] Hudson's $9.33MM average annual value are all conversation starters," agent Jonathan Maruer told MLB Trade Rumors.

"It was a big step today," he said. "I kind of impressed myself. I didn't know what to expect, and I'm really pleased with it. Stott was a little worried going into it, if I was ready or not, but coming out he was pretty much all smiles. "I definitely need to prove to myself and everybody else that I can get people out."
