I think they are a little concerned that Schilling did not bounce back as quickly as they had hoped, and when he did come back he got hit pretty hard at AAA.
Not sure whatthe answer is, but I think this move kind of opens up the door of speculation as to their worries about his abilities right now. I think he;ll be fine, but the bullpen thing allows them to see his progress first hand every day, so in that regards it is a good move for them.
