Friday BP: Alex Cobb hopes to be ‘close to facing a batter’ by the end of camp

The San Francisco Giants have been getting some honest to goodness baseball reps in down in Scottsdale, as Spring Training is officially underway. It’s a happy and wonderful thing, and it also means that we get a lot more news and information to talk about.

Thursday was a pretty quiet day for the Giants on the news front, but it was their first official pitchers and catchers workout. And we got to hear Alex Cobb speak optimistically about his timeline after undergoing surgery.

Cobb — who is openly hoping to avoid the 60-Day Injured List — is throwing three times a week, though not yet off a mound.
