Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto says he feels his surgically repaired knee is 100%. The Reds apparently are going to take any chances.

Votto is anxious to return to the team and said “I’d like to be ready sooner than later. I miss playing. It’s what I get paid to do. I want to help out.” and added, “I know I’m part of the team, but it’s not the same as being on the field. I kind of regret that, and I’d like to get back on the field and help out and be part of good stretch.”
