If there is anything St. Louis pitcher
Adam Wainwright wants to do this season,
it’s prove he still can be a
productive pitcher for the
Cardinals.
“In my mind, I’m still
fighting to be the No. 1
pitcher in the game still.
That’s what I want to be
and that’s what I want to
think of myself,” Wainwright
said. “I’m confident
in my talent and abilities.
That’s how I get the most
out of doing it and thinking
it that way. Now, I know I
have some things to prove.”
The veteran righty, who is set to make
$19.5 million in this final year of his fiveyear
contract, holds a disappointing 4.81
ERA over the last two seasons.
At 36, Wainwright is a three-time All-
Star and the one-time ace of the Cardinals,
the only major league team he’s
ever pitched for. He owns 146 wins in his
12-year career, but he hasn’t won more

than 13 games since winning 20 in 2014.
He’s candid about last season.
“Last year didn’t go well. I was injured
in the second half last year and it was just
ugly,” Wainwright said. He
had arthroscopic surgery
on his right elbow last
October. The procedure
involved the trimming of
some cartilage. As far as
elbow surgeries go, it was
relatively minor. Wainwright
needed six weeks of
rehab, but after that, there
were no restrictions.
“My rehab has gone as
completely smooth as possible,”
Wainwright said.
“Doctors and trainers did
a great job getting me prepared. I think
everybody is pretty excited about where
I’m at.”
As far as being ready goes, he said
he follows the same routine he did as
a rookie, playing catch “like it [is] the

Mike Says...
“Younger generations are not necessarily
interested in inheriting items. Don’t let your items
continue to lose value over time – let Manchester
Coin & Jewelry help with your collectibles now.
Clearing out a lifetime of clutter is daunting, try one
drawer – or one room – at a time. ”
“Unlike other buyers, Manchester Coin & Jewelry
assesses fine jewelry and watches in terms of
resale, not meltdown value.”
“You can bring me a violin or a guitar and
some gold and an old toy and some military
memorabilia and a big diamond – and we’ll buy
it all”
