Daily Herald: Edmonds: ‘I got a lot left’

There are fastballs just ripe for some missin’
And I mean to miss me a few!
I got a lot of playin’ to do!

The Cubs took a chance on the soon-to-be 38-year-old Edmonds, signing him for a pro-rated share of the minimum salary, or about $285,000, for the rest of the year. The Padres acquired him last winter from the Cardinals but released him after he hit just .178 in 26 games.

“I got a lot left,” he said. “I feel my body’s in as good a shape as it’s been in probably 6-7 years. I’ve just got to get my swing back and get going.

“I felt like I was starting to play a little bit better and starting to get my feet underneath me. I started hearing about some things they were going to shake up. I didn’t think I’d be one of the guys.”

A calf injury in spring training hampered Edmonds, but he said it affected his timing more than anything.

You've gotta have heart
All you really need is heart
When the odds are sayin' you'll never win
That's when the grin should start
You've gotta have hope
Mustn't sit around and mope
Nothin's half as bad as it may appear
Wait'll next year and hope
When your luck is battin' zero
Get your chin up off the floor
Mister you can be a hero
You can open any door, there's nothin' to it but to do it
You've gotta have heart
Miles 'n miles n' miles of heart
Oh, it's fine to be a genius of course
But keep that old horse
Before the cart
First you've gotta have heart
