| Schilling to return...as closer???
Word is that Terry Francona is planning on bringing Schilling back as a closer. What do I think of that move? One word: Brilliant
First off, the Red Sox have done just fine without Schilling in the rotation. Clement has pitched like an ace, Wakefield and Arroyo have been solid, and Wells has been pretty good too. Their lone weakness this season has been their bullpen. Stick Schilling in there, and have Timlin setting him up, and basically the game's over if you dont get to them before the 8th inning.
Also it might be better for Schilling's ankle. He might not be strong enough to push off on the ankle 100 times a game, but for 10-20 pitches a night, his ankle can probably handle it.
