From the Reds website:
http://cincinnati.reds.mlb.com/news/...k_cin&c_id=cin"I am planning on doing anything I can," Edmonds said Sunday. "If I have to, I will numb it up, if that's what it takes."
From John Fay:
Edmonds will hit off Cueto in sim game . He's hopeful. "They're are things they can do w/ medication." Said tendon is structurally ok. #reds

It'd be nice if he could hit a few milestones during the playoffs.
2 walks away from 1000.
1 RBI away from 1200.
7 HRs away from 400. (Ha! I can dream, right?)
Edmonds may not be done yet.

I hope he returns with the Reds for one more season as a bench player.

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no and no.
I would rather see Osama Bin Laden, Josef Stalin, and Ted Kaczynski in the OF than Jim Edmonds.
No room. No vacancy. No help wanted. No dice.
Go away, Jim.
Edmonds/Gomes platoon? I could live with that.
I wonder if Walt would sign him to a major league deal and then cut him during spring training if he can't win a job.
There's no way the old reds would do that, but the Walt-reds might. He did something like that with Aaron Miles, the guy whose salary he adopted in order to make Wily Taveres vanish. They brought him to spring training and then cut him and paid his salary while Miles played for the cards all year long.
If they did something like that with Edmonds, I wouldn't mind. As long as it's not a 4 million dollar deal or such. If you need somebody to pinch hit or man a corner OF/1B slot for a week or two. The 5 OF slot. That would be OK. Not a great move, but understandable.
They could still look for a deal for a real left fielder and nobody's nose would get out of joint.
"Even a bad day at the ballpark beats the snot out of most other good days. I'll take my scorecard and pencil and beer and hot dog and rage at the dips and cheer at the highs, but I'm not ever going to stop loving this game and this team and nobody will ever take that away from me." Roy Tucker October 2010
The spike in Jay Bruce's performance was tangible after Edmonds was traded for last season. I'd LOVE to see a full season from Bruce with Edmonds around to mentor him.

A proven vet to take ab's away from Gomes vs RHP on the cheap? Yes please.
