The Boston Globe reported today that Curt Schilling has a bad shoulder...surgery has been recommended by a specialist. They reportedly have tried to void his contract...lots of no comments by Schilling...who is always ready to mouth off...and the Saawx!!!

How does this happen 6 days before spring training. How can the Sox give him 8 million + incentives. Bad week already and now this. When will it stop.

If I were a cynical person...I would ask if he might have known this when he was negotiating his contract. OK...Did he know it when he was negotiating his contract???

Hmmm, That would explain alot about how he pitched last season..

Kind of sorry we didn't land Santana now...

Maybe now they can give some of the young guns a shot to see if they have what it takes..

After seeing bucholtz last year they should have some good young talent to fill the void..

News just reported that Curt has 2 injuries, A rotator cuff and torn bicep..

Doesn't look good for him this season...

Why didn't they do something in November. I can't believe they are that unaware of what's going on with Curt's shoulder before they signed him.

I agree... Someone (probably Shilling) kept secret what was actually going on so he could get another contract.. Who would sign him if he had an injury??
