Heck, if we can just get all the starters to go 8-2/3 innings we wont need no stinking closer (well at least one batter anyways!)

I don't understand this move at all. Schilling is your best starter, he is obviously not ready to pitch yet so let him be the closer? I say let him make a couple more starts in Pawtucet and see how he does. In the meantime let Timlin be the closer until they figure out what they are going to do.

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.

Not Schilling...that's for sure. He avarages high 80's in his 2 PawSox starts touching the low 90-'s a few times. He'll have a hard time getting loose quickly enough I think. He throws 60 or so getting ready for a start. He'll need to cut that # WAYYYYYYY back to be effective out of the pen. |
