John Schuerholz Time Quotations

I have spoken with (Braves senior orthopedic consultant) Dr. Chandler and we will follow Dr. Anderson's recommendation on a conservative treatment at this time. Chipper will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks, at which time we will assess his healing process.

I get into some pretty private and personal matters. I'm glad it's over. It took a lot more time than I suspected it would. But I'm happy with the way it came out.

We looked at his time in the National League and we believe when he gets back to the N.L. in Atlanta, he will return to the Renteria of old.

Bobby is going to have to decide on his lineup to decide who's the leadoff hitter and decide who the closer is going to be, so we have some spots on this roster and on this team that are going to be big decisions. But we have plenty of time and feel we will be able to get it done in spring training.

Our doctors say this is an injury that will heal itself. It just takes time. It may not take quite as much time as 15 days, but we want to make absolutely certain that he's completely healthy before he returns, so we're putting him on the disabled list.

Our doctors say that injury heals itself. I hate to lose him for one day (but) it just takes time. It should take no more than that time and maybe not even quite as much time as the 15 days will provide. To be absolutely certain that he is healthy when he returns, we're putting him on the list.
