    Schilling To Play Beyond '08...

    Curt Schilling on WEEI radio stated on Monday morning that he intends to play in 2008 and beyond and is in talks with the Red Sox about an extension.

    Senator John Kerry worry no more. Schilling has long stated that the 2007 season, which is the final year of his contract, would also be the final year of his career. While he said his first and foremost preference is to stay with the Red Sox, he wouldn't rule out playing for another team. But like Johnny Damon once proclaimed, Schilling said he would never play for the Yankees. "It wouldn't be in New York," Schilling said. "No. I could not make that move." Schilling hopes to conclude contract talks with the Red Sox before Opening Day. Jan. 29 - 9:08 am et

    Well, I guess this is a good thing. Hopefully Schill doesn't hit the wall this year and we're left with a boulder around the neck of the team's payroll.

      He's a shell of his former self, but still an asset to the Boston's rotation. His leadership and veteran mentality will come handy down the stretch. Him staying durable is another story though.

          Schill started to show signs of his career winding down last season. Boston would be crazy to pay him top shelf money. I know he brings veteran leadership and all but with a declining skillset well it could be an albatross on the Sox organization.

          I'd rather cut bait on him after this season if I were in charge of the BoSox front office.

              Well, if they do sign him it will probably only be for 1 more year. He's not seeking a multi year deal at this point. There's no reason for the Red Sox to not re-sign him.

                  What's the point in mentioning the Yankees in that article?

                  Seems to me that the writer is trying to rekindle a rivalry that's finally on normal terms after being on high alert that past couple of seasons.

                      He has to...or else he will be run amuck in the town? At least on the SOSH board that he frequents...except on the Yankees part, he doesn't warrant it.

                          Not sure what you mean.

                          He was asked, I believe, on the radio if it's a possibility to see him in Pinstripes. Schill said no way, much like Damon.

                          I guess they didn't have to ask, but considering his big name, and Damon's recent defect, it's not that out of line.
