Robbie is a power lefty who misses a lot of bats. Before this injury, he actually had a really good track record of durability. \n\n“Hopefully, Alex Cobb is going to be on a timetable that allows him to return sooner than the second half, but with Robbie, I think that’s a realistic time frame. … Any pitching additions we make from this point on will sort of have to sync up with knowing that we’ll have those three guys in the top of the rotation in the second half.””,”type”:”text”},{“__typename”:”Markdown”,”content”:”* MLB Hot Stove Tracker | Rumors“,”type”:”text”},{“__typename”:”Markdown”,”content”:”Haniger, 33, spent five years in Seattle before leaving to sign a three-year, $43.5 million deal with his hometown Giants last offseason.
