I have a chance of being part of something pretty special, or walk around in a sling, ... One of the questions is, what`s my best chance to win a ring as a St. Louis Cardinal?
My understanding is that I should have no trouble getting back for spring training. It`s a six-month rehab, maybe, and I have a little extra time in there. Hopefully, I should have no trouble coming back from the first day on.

It was put to me, from (Cincinnati Reds trainer) Dr. (Timothy) Kremchek, that, `you need to have surgery,` ... `When all the smoke clears,` he says, `you don`t have any options. You have to have surgery.`
When all the smoke clears, he says, you don`t have any options, you have to have surgery. Not maybe, it`s no, you cannot. The timing is the issue, that`s the decision to make.
I really didn`t have a decision. I know my body. Timing was the issue.
I really didn`t have a decision. This is my only choice right now, to get the procedure done.
I didn`t really have a decision. I know my body. I know my shoulder. This was the only choice right now.
My decision is going to be, am I able to play baseball, and I couldn`t before. If I can`t lift my arm and get a shirt down, I can`t play baseball.
Now would I have taken eight or 10 weeks? Sure, I would have. At the time, I`m ready to go, the doc says I`m ready to go, it`s fine.
