[edit] Biographical Information
Daniel Webb is a pitcher in the Chicago White Sox organization.
He was first drafted out of high school by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 12th round of the 2008 amateur draft, but did not sign. In the 2009 draft, after one year in junior college, he was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 18th round and this time accepted the offer to turn pro. The scout was Joel Grampietro. He began his playing career the following year, in 2010, splitting his season between the Auburn Doubledays of the New York-Penn League and the Lansing Lugnuts of the Midwest League. He was 0-6, 5.24 in 13 starts in the NYPL, but did better at the higher level, going 1-1, 2.31 in his two starts for Lansing. In 2011, he started the season late because of an injury, and made a brief stay with the GCL Blue Jays before joining Lansing. He made 12 starts in 18 appearances, but with mediocre results: 4-5, 5.59, with 51 Ks and 24 walks in 66 innings. In spite of his unimpressive results so far, he was acquired by the White Sox, along with another low-level pitcher, Myles Jaye, in return for veteran reliever Jason Frasor on January 1st, 2012.
