Rangers and Cubs Ahead of Nationals for Webb

The Rangers and Cubs are now in front of the Nats in the Brandon Webb sweepstakes. The former Cy Young Award winner has not pitched in the bigs since 2008 due to shoulder issues, and averaged an 81 MPH fastball in Instructional League ball this year. However, scouts have said that he has improved, and that they like what they see. He is training already, and getting ready for Spring Training. His agent said that  "Brandon is hungry, excited, and ready to start 30 plus times in 2011."
