They explained Webb's comments... He's never had to pitch through discomfort, so it may not mean he's no progressing, but to Webb, not being able to pitch without discomfort isn't progress. He could be effective, and likely will in time. It may come slower than in most cases, but every doctor associated with the case said a full recovery and return to previous levels of pitching ability are expected.
As for Kennedy, he's a huge question mark, but Billy Buckner is a great 5th starter and a solid fourth. Check out his second half numbers once he received starts consistently. Solid. They should have the offense and bullpen to offset a weaker rotation.
