Alex Cobb has been putting on weight this offseason.
The young right-hander is expected to open 2013 as the Rays' fifth starter and wanted to bulk up a bit for what's likely to be a large workload. "This is the heaviest I've been my whole life, especially in the offseason, when I usually cut some weight," Cobb told MLB.com. "My mental approach to this offseason was to get bigger and stronger, to really minimize my risk of getting injured."
