I can't help but be impressed by how well Alex Cobb has pitched since returning from Tommy John surgery. How much better do you think the staff will be next season with Cobb pitching at the top?

I've been impressed with Cobb's return as well. However, I can't say I'm surprised. Before having his surgery, I thought Cobb was the top pitcher on a loaded staff. Not only does he have great stuff and great control, he strikes me as mentally tough. I also forgot how good Cobb was. I think the staff will be improved with his return.
