The Orioles have reportedly added another bullpen arm:
Webb, who'll turn 28 in February, was non-tendered by the Marlins earlier in the week, and became a free agent. He had a 2.91 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 78 ERA- in 80 1/3 innings in 2013. He struck out 54 and walked 27.
Webb has a career 86 ERA-, 90 FIP-, 6.26 strikeout rate, and 3.16 walk rate in 276 career big-league innings of relief.
Late Monday night, Keri tweeted the following:
It strikes, on the surface, as a rather astute move by the Orioles, who, Keri adds, "love Webb's sinker and big groundball rate."
Webb has a career 57.4 percent groundball rate.
