Schilling Responds To Today's Reports
Published 2/8/2008 by Steve Lombardi at WasWatching.com
From Red Light's Lips - Speculation is rampant right now. I see the Sox just released a statement. At the time we negotiated the 2008 contract I passed all physical exams and testing, as well as the MRI the club required me to take. I knew in my heart of hearts that the extra time I was giving my arm to rest this winter would in fact be the cure for what I went through the entire 2007 season. I had a strong desire to not have to go through multiple cortisone injections in my shoulder for another year. There was absolutely no reason for anyone ...

... , and conflicting reports that he would need either surgery or just rest and rehab for his shoulder issues. Schill has of course spoken on the topic at 38 Pitches, but no timetable is given. Red Sox Nation can't be happy about all this, and Phillies fans shouldn't be either. The Sox were once high on the list of teams in the running for Johan Santana, and their decision to back out of negotiations with the Twins may have been different if they thought they'd be without Schilling for an extended period of time. However, news of his shoulder problems isn't exactly new; only the ...
