Diamondbacks Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Brandon Webb has come to grips to the fact that what likely will be his last season with the Diamondbacks will be abbreviated by at least a few weeks.

Webb had not thrown to hitters the first three weeks of spring, not even in batting practice, and it seems certain that he will open the season on the disabled list while continuing to recover from August debridement surgery on his right shoulder.

"I don't care when I come back, as long as I get some time in," said Webb, whose contract expires after 2010.

Even if Webb makes steady progress from this point, he will be about two weeks behind the rest of the starters. When spring training opened, Webb was slotted into the No.

The Diamondbacks acquired Adam LaRoche for his consistent bat and stellar defense. Arizona manager A.J. Hinch also likes the first baseman's leadership.

With the uncertain status of Brandon Webb, newcomer Edwin Jackson's performance thus far this spring must be comforting for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

With Brandon Webb still making his way back from right shoulder surgery, it puts even more emphasis on the acquisition of right-hander Edwin Jackson from Detroit as part of a three-way trade that included the New York Yankees.

Hiroki Kuroda is coming off a season to forget, if only everybody would just let him get it out of his mind.

Chris Snyder is still with the team that tried so hard to trade him, and he finds himself in an uphill fight for playing time.
