Surgery or No

Interesting happening at the Boston Red Sox organization. Curt Schilling has a shoulder injury and he and the BoSox are quibbling over what to do. No really, they are. Curt even posted about it on his blog: my shoulder by Curt Schilling.

There have been disagreements these past few weeks in an effort to provide me with a solution that would allow me to pitch as much as possible during the 2008 season. At no time did I ever consider taking a course of action against the clubs wishes. In the end, regardless of who agreed with whom, I have chosen the clubs course of action and will vigorously pursue any and every option I can to be able to help this team to another World Series title in 2008.

Sounds like a non-denial denial. So the question still remains: surgery or no?

Writing on his blog, 38pitches.com, Schilling said Thursday night that he has agreed to abide by the club’s request to rely on rest and rehabilitation.

Ah, so rest and rehab. Hmmm. Sounds suspicious to me. If it’s my career and my shoulder; I am doing what is best for me. I seriously doubt the shoulder is in that bad a shape. If it is, then why only rest and rehab?

UPDATE: The Schilling contract is NOT insured. That means the BoSox are on the hook for all $8 million.
