Career [edit]
Los Angeles Dodgers [edit]
Webster was selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 18th round of the 2008 MLB Draft and began his career with the Gulf Coast Dodgers in 2008. In 2009 he played primarily with the Arizona League Dodgers and in 2010 was with the Great Lakes Loons where he was 12-9 with a 2.88 ERA in 26 appearances (23 starts) and stuck out 114 batters. In 2011 he started nine games for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes and was 5-2 with a 2.33 ERA before a mid-season promotion to the AA Chattanooga Lookouts. In 2012, he made 22 starts for the Lookouts (and 5 relief appearances) with a 6-8 record and 3.55 ERA.
Boston Red Sox [edit]
On August 25, 2012, Webster was traded to the Boston Red Sox along with infielder Iván DeJesús, Jr., first baseman James Loney and two players to be named later, in exchange for first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, pitcher Josh Beckett, outfielder Carl Crawford, infielder Nick Punto and $11 million. Eventually, pitcher Rubby De La Rosa and OF/1B Jerry Sands became the two PTBNL.[1]
Entering 2013, Webster was ranked as the fourth-best prospect in the Red Sox minor league system[2] and ranked 71st in the MLB.com Top 100 Prospects list.[3] The Red Sox added him to their 40 man roster and assigned him to the AAA Pawtucket Red Sox to start the season. The Red Sox recalled him to the Majors for the first time on April 21, 2013 to start the second game of a doubleheader.[4] Webster was optioned the next day. Webster was recalled May 7 after reliever Joel Hanrahan went on the disabled list. Webster was optioned back to Pawtucket on May 9.
