PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Alex Cobb will make his first start of the spring on Tuesday when the Rays play the Twins at Charlotte County Stadium.
Unlike last season, Cobb is healthy -- and not rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, which makes every day beautiful.
"I thought I appreciated being in the Major Leagues before, but I think whenever you lose something, that passion becomes so much greater," Cobb said. "That appreciation goes to another level. When I was away as long as I was, watching all the games on TV, it really hit me when I finally got back.
