I said then it's quite hilarious that Zito makes more than Webb. Well, Webb is about to cash in (and still make less than Zito). His agent is negotiating an extension with the Diamondbacks right now.

Brandon Webb is off to another great start- 8-0, with a 2.41 ERA. His insane ground ball rate (63.2%) has allowed him to give up only 2 homers over 56 innings. On the surface, this is very similar to 2006, when he started off 8-0 with a 2.18 ERA. In ...
