"You can never predict two months from now, but we're on schedule and there haven't been any major setbacks," said Roberts. "I saw my doctor, and he didn't see any reason that I wouldn't be ready to go. I won't be going 100 percent the first day of spring training, but if I am ready to be playing by the middle of spring training, I think that's plenty of time to get ready." |
