Why the Phillies Shouldn't Bid on Curt Schilling

Found October 30, 2007 on Hot Stove Philly: Yardbarker Blogger Network
Despite having just won his 2nd World Series ring with Boston and 3rd overall, Schilling, who will be 41 when spring training opens, is well past his prime. His fastball no longer reaches 40 mph and his stats during the regular season were less than impressive. Schilling went 9-8 with a 3.87 ERA. There are plenty of other right-handed pitchers who can match those stats.

  • Plenty of RHP's who have an ERA of 3.87?? Is this 1987 or 2007? I'd take Curt for 1 year at $12M. Can he be any worse than Adam Eaton ($24M 3yrs) or Freddy Garcia ($10M 1 yr)? Your correct on saying his velocity is falling but if Jamie Moyer can still get guys out, I have to believe Schilling can for one more year at least.
