Attention Rays and Cubs: Curt Schilling Might be Willing to be Your Savior
I have said to no one, including myself, that I am definitely coming back, because it’s not true. However if I did, the Cubs, and Tampa, were they to need a starting pitcher for the 2nd half of the season and into October, would be 2 situations I’d be very interested in.
…
So I’ll be clear here. If I do feel I can be better than I was in 2007, and I do decide to come back, AND either of those teams is in the market for a starting pitcher (because lets face it, both teams have what could be outstanding rotations) I would DEFINITELY be interested in both. The Cubs present as much of a cool challenge for me as the Red Sox did in 04, and Tampa has a roster of guys I’d love to play with.
Schilling also pointed out that the teams mentioned above were not an all-inclusive list, specifically saying that the Red Sox were a possibility, but it happens that they’re already pretty stacked. Now I know a lot of people are pretty sick of Curt Schilling, but I’ll actually defend the guy by saying he’s been such a clutch pitcher this decade that he’s earned the right to have this much attention. I don’t see the storybook ending unfolding where Schilling returns from an arm that basically fell off to lead the Cubs to their first W.S. title in like 100 years, but I would like to see him pitching for someone in October. And yes, that means I’d take him on the Angels in two seconds if he’s interested.
