Despite having surgery on his right shoulder for torn labrum, Milwaukee Brewers catcher Gregg Zaun wants to play in 2011, according to Tom Haudricourt of the Journel-Sentinel. Haudricourt says Zaun is still recovering from surgery, but he’ll be ready to play physically next season.
Zaun’s injury dates back to April of this season, and there were thoughts of him retiring at the time.
Zaun, 39, is in his 16th season in the Major Leagues. Before he went down to injury this season, he was hitting .265/.350/.392 with 2 home runs and 14 RBIs in 28 games for the Brewers. There is a team option for one-year and $2.25 million for the 2011 season. He made $1.4 million for 2010 plus a $500,000 signing bonus.
