i checked on webb anyways and while i still feel he has been one of the best in baseball over the last two years, i wanted to check his stats...this guy gives up a ton of hits...his whip era and record are good though
Is he a groundball pitcher or is bankone ballpark big?

ground ball pitcher.
He is very good, but all pitchers are good vs astros.

Right now, Duckworth would pitch a shutout against the Astros.

Webb's an extreme groundball pitcher. Over his career, 64.8% of the balls hit off of him have been ground balls, versus only 17% in the air.

Actually he's never allowed more hits than innings pitched in his major league career.
2003 180 2/3 ip 140h 2004 208ip 194h 2005 229ip 229h 2006 235ip 216h 2007 70ip 66h

Webb's hit/IP ratio is good. So far in his career he's allowed 852 hits in 929 2/3 ip. That's .92 hits per inning pitched, which is far from 'not good'. He's been a really good pitcher in his short career. Bank One ballpark has also been one of the best hitter's parks in the league, which makes it even more remarkable.
