Madison Bumgarner isn't concerned about the heavy workload he took on for the San Francisco Giants last season.

Bumgarner threw 270 innings in 2014 when you add his 52 2/3 postseason frames to his total.

"That's why you do all the work," Bumgarner said. "That's what the goal is, is to have that kind of workload. We were just able to fulfill it."

Bumgarner maintained his habit of starting his throwing program on Jan. 1 by tossing to his brother-in-law, Tanner Saunders.

"I couldn't pay any less attention to it than I do now," the right-hander said. "After 2010, it was the same deal."
