Originally selected by the A’s in the 4th round of the 2004 First Year Player Draft, Webb has averaged a 1.99 groundball-to-flyball ratio in his five season major league career, pitching to a 3.29 ERA (276.0IP, 101ER) in 266 appearances for San Diego and the Marlins.

With this move, the Orioles now have 38 players on the 40-man roster.
