Re: Schilling To Sox Bullpen
I was willing to wait and see when I heard the Sox were considering this. I was thinking though that it probably was a bit too fast to call him up, with a huge series against the Yankees, you have to try to have any advantage you can get. He started strong against Sheffield, then just went very flat and gave Sheffield a pitch to hit on a 2 strike count, and served up that pitch to A-Rod. He did get the next three outs, though.
Maybe in the long run he is better off as a starter, and I hope this is a temporary decision. Seeing the Yankees name in the win column makes me sad, after all, and I was quick to jump on it
. I do think he probably needed a couple more rehab starts before the final decision was made. The Sox simply were painted in a corner with Foulke being hurt and not having very many options outside of Schilling.
