JUPITER, Fla. (AP) - In mid-January, when Jim Edmonds mused about getting old and wondering whether any team would want him after his contract expires in 2007, it sounded like a joke.
After all, although his 2005 production was his worst in five seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, he still had 29 homers and 89 RBIs, he won his eighth Gold Glove and started in the All-Star game.
But when he appeared at the annual St. Louis baseball writers' dinner this winter, he said he was unable to pick up a glass of water because of persistent numbness in his right forearm and hand.
