"If Schilling was smart he would retire from the game. He’s got 3 WS rings, a playoff resume to kill for and a huge amount of gratitude for the fans. To go somewhere else for one more shot at glory is nothing more than ego."

From what I've read Schilling is a huge asset in the clubhouse, giving advice to young pitchers and helping them with many aspects of the game.

I wouldn't compare Clemens with Curt, he loves the game, thinks he can still play baseball and help the team.

To the best of my recollection he hasn't retired three times to load his pockets.

Given that, plus the fact that John Farrell will probably be a hot commodity as a managerial prospect this winter or next, why not groom Schilling as his replacement? That way, Schilling gets to retire with the Sox (possibly a 4th ring?) and have a pretty good job after retirement.

Roger actually helped turn the Yankees around so there was value for them but he went out like a limp johnson....

I've heard that as well. Do you think Curt might make a decent pitching coach?
