“That’s a bad thing,” said 44-year-old Kevin Cloutier of Westford, who was enjoying spring training with his family. “I would have hoped if it took $13 million to get a guy like Curt Schilling, we would have done that. People are paying $17 million for a Barry Zito. You’ve got to get a Curt Schilling for 13. That’s going to be a problem for us. You can’t get too cocky because you have a lot of pitchers. You never know what happens.”
There's a lot of truth to these statements, and I think one of the most honest ones is the last - You never know what happens. Will Schilling be able to effectively continue after this season? Would he want to? I'm as big a fan of veteran pitching as the next guy, but I really don't think the Sox will let Schilling go next season just because he's gone free agent. I've gotta go with my gut on this one and trust Theo.
Let's all get over the shock that I'm paying any attention to sports at all, let alone the staggering unlikelihood of my actually reading articles about it. Hell has frozen over, because both of these things have happened. Not only that, but I'm blogging about it. Now who saw that coming?
Here's something else not too many people seemed to see coming - the Boston Red Sox set a record last night with their streak of seventeen straight errorless games. The previous record was sixteen set by the Cardinals in 1992. Read more here.
